This Z-train, which originated in Chicago and is headed for Denver, is the hottest train that runs in to Denver on either UP or BNSF. Amtrak actually ran through the siding at Keensburg so the Z-train could get back up to track speed more quickly once the Zephyr cleared.

While this curve offers pretty descent shots any time of day, afternoon shots of westbounds are just about as ideal as you could ask for. Such is the case here, as this westbound coal load slowly pulls up the grade out of Keensburg. The train just met a manifest, and had to start pulling up the grade from a stop.

This eastbound manifest is round a long curve just west of Keensburg, which is visible in the distance. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I thought it was particularly fortuitous, catching this unit, as I have shot it a couple of times over the previous nine months in and around Denver. For most of its time in town, it was used as power on the Beer Run between Denver and Golden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105096 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 14, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Keensburg Keensburg, CO 1494 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF there is a nice cut about a mile west of Keensburg. It is a great place for getting both eastbounds and westbounds. Case in point is this eastbound manifest, currently in dynamics as it heads down grade. The train is being led by a (recently) highly popular ES44C4. While BNSF management appears to love these units, word is that engineers are not so crazy about them.
