Photo ID: 102329 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, September 6, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 2 Denver, CO 1914 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Colorado Springs (UP)/Pikes Peak (BNSF) BNSF This BNSF coal load went through the Moffat Tunnel about eight hours before this picture was taken! The train was loaded by Utah Railway at the Wildcat Mine in Utah. Here, the train is on main two headed south, about to pass underneath the 6th Avenue bridge. Invesco Field at Mile High - home of the Denver Broncos - is visible in the distance (above the lead unit). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The hydrotreater weighs 570 metric tons and is 115 feet long. It is also a bit wider than the average load, which is why signals and switch stands had to be (temporarily) removed at points along BNSF during the move. This was the largest item ever unloaded (to date) at the Houston Port Authority! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The hydrotreater being moved to Commerce City, CO came from Italy. It was said that the total cost of transportation (ship and rail combined) exceeded $3 million! Close to half that cost was just on BNSF alone. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
