A roster shot of UP 1989 in some nice afternoon light as it leads the MPUNY-25 north through South Denver. The elevated platform behind 1989 carries the Regional Transportation District's (RTD's) Light Rail line south to Littleton.

Running rather late, the northbound MPUNY-25 is moving north on Main 2 past Evans Avenue. The train left Pueblo (about 110 miles south) the night before and barely made it past Colorado Springs before the crew died. The train was tied down on Monument siding until today when a new crew took the train north into Denver.

It is one of a kind! BNSF's so-called "Vomit Bonnet" was a test paint scheme applied only to BNSF 9647 shortly after the merger. This was a test paint scheme that mixed the colors from BN's "green and cream" scheme along with the pattern of Santa Fe's Warbonnet scheme. Rather amazing that, ten years ago, the unit is still roaming the rails!

This southbound coal load on Main One crosses over Iowa Avenue just south of Denver along Santa Fe Drive (US-85). The train has just entered the triple track main that will take the train down to Littleton where it will enter track warrant territory for the trip to points south.
