I thought it was interesting that the doors on the long hood on UP 1526 were open after leaving Burnham! The unit (ex-SSW 7291) was definitely online. On August 1, 2003, I shot this very same unit when it was still in full, unpatched gray! It was working on the Montrose Local on that particular day.

The north lead may not be around much longer as RTD's FasTracks project may result in the lead being removed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train has 120 hoppers and four units for power. This is pretty typical for BNSF and the train won't make much better than 15 MPH for its trip up the Palmer Divide.

Note the winterization hatches on the radiator fans on the leading SD40-2 and the SD60. Very common on Canadian Pacific units.

I wanted to find a new perspective, so I found this shot of a northbound approaching Bragdon on Main 2. The diverging route in the picture is used when BNSF trains coming out of Pueblo need to cross over to Main 2, or on the rare occasion when BNSF trains run the "wrong way" on Main 2 from Crews and have to cross back over to the BNSF main into Pueblo. The train approaching a BNSF coal empty that is running on UP's main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, while Light Rail is being rebuilt, freight traffic is restricted to Main 3. Such is the case here, as a southbound coal load passes through the Form B, give plenty of bell and whistle to the men and equipment in the area.
