A few miles north of Longmont at Vermillion Road, this southbound HPASSAG has stopped so as not to block any crossing. Two southbounds ahead of it and the crew will hold here until they get a warrant south of Longmont. Note the new ties along the side of the track. Looks like BNSF is planning some maintenance for the summer!

When EMD was working on their 50-series locomotives in the late 1970's and early 1980's, they had four models they offered. The GP49, the SD49, the GP50 and the SD50. The 49's were only 12-cylinder models and were rated at 2,800 HP. Alaska Railroad purchased nine GP49's (the only nine units to ever be produced), and EMD never did end up producing any SD49's. Here is one of the nine GP49's running DIC (Dead-In-Consist) on BNSF's HPASSAG. The unit was retired in 2006 and is now headed for Houston, TX.
