Yard Shots BNSF
Snow still covers the ground at BNSF's 38th Street shops about 24 hours after snow stopped falling in the Denver area. Not as much power as there sometimes is at the shops, but a nice splattering of color anyway. This shot was taken from the Park Avenue West overpass.

Yard Shots BNSF
BNSF still has 70 B23-7's on the roster as of the time of this picture. Several of these units seem to have found their way to Denver and are often used in switching service. BNSF 4244 sits near the engine shops at 38th street.

Yard Shots Amtrak
Running an astounding 7 hours and 15 minutes late, Amtrak 5 crosses from the main track over the the wye track at 23rd Street to prepare to back into Union Station. Dining car problems delayed the train five hours in Chicago the day before.

Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak
Nearly 3 o'clock in the afternoon and Amtrak 5 (the westbound California Zephyr) is just changing crews and preparing to depart westbound. Car problems and bad weather led to the nearly eight hour delay.

Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak
This is a shot that sounds as though it won't be possible for too much longer. The Union Station redevelopment project is going to call for the "commuter tracks" - including Amtrak and the Ski Train - to be lower under ground level within the next five to ten years.

Yard Shots BNSF
A very new ES44AC (delivered within the last few months) sits near the shops at BNSF's 38th street engine house. Even though the sun has moved to the opposite side of the unit, I still like the shot, particularly with all the snow in the foreground.

Yard Shots EMD Leasing
One of my favorite paint schemes of all time would be the blue and white scheme applied to the GP59, GP60, and SD60 demo units that EMD produced. A close second is the (very similar) scheme of the 100 "Oakway" SD60 leased to Burlington Northern in the late 1980's. Those units are still on the BNSF today, in relatively good condition!

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak
From a photographic point of view, both Amtrak and the Ski Train run in the wrong direction at the wrong time of day. The train run west in the morning (away from the sun) and east in the evening (away from the sun). That's why it is always great to find Amtrak running over seven hours late! On this afternoon, the sun was less than two hours away from setting when Amtrak 5 came west through Leyden at 3:30pm.
