It isn't very often that you can find a tunnel motor these days, regardless of the paint scheme. I was very happy to find UP 2935 (ex-UP 4522, nee-SP 8243) sitting near the yard office at 36th Street. This particular tunnel motor has worn yellow paint since it received a full repaint almost nine years ago in March 1998!

For the past decade or so, two units has been the standard on the Beer Run between Denver and Golden. However, on this particular Saturday afternoon, the train was being led by four units (the fourth of which was a former ATSF B30-7). There was no crew on board and, in fact, Tennyson street had been cut!

BNSF 3159 (ex-BN 3149) sits on the siding at Broomfield waiting for a northbound HDENLAU to come out of Denver. BNSF 3159 was one of only five GP50s to receive a specially built cab designed to comfortably fit five crew members.

Extended cab GP50 3159 was one of five custom built GP50s built almost exactly 21 years ago in November of 1985. These test units were designed to comfortably fit five crew members, hence the larger cab.
