Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande
A few of the ex-Grande units that are still roaming the rails with either their class lights or their MARS lights still intact. Such is the case with UP 1349 which, up until May 16, 2005, was DRGW 3128. On this December morning, the unit was sitting alone on the ready tracks north of the fueling tracks.

Yard Shots BNSF
Even though BNSF starting taking delivery of their Evolution Series GE engines after they introduced their "New Image" scheme, several ES44DC's were still delivered wearing the Heritage 2 scheme. BNSF still had a supply a reflective decals and they wanted to dispose of them by applying them to engines rather than simply throwing them away. BNSF 7728 is one such example.

Yard Shots BNSF
When BNSF was first formed in 1995, the new railroad went through several experimental paint schemes while on the path to the eventual Heritage scheme. Most of these experimental or temporary schemes have been replaced. However, BNSF 2911 still wears a rather unique scheme. A slightly off-green paint was used to cover up the old herald and number. The unit is currently assigned as the Golden Switcher.

Yard Shots EMD Leasing
EMD built and sold 100 SD60's to Oakway Leasing in the mid-1980's. Burlington Northern leased all 100 units on a long-term basis. EMD 9000 to EMD 9099 are still on BNSF's roster twenty years after being delivered. Here, the last of the 100 units, EMD 9099, is seen through the supports for Park Avenue West near the house.

After cutting out these swing helpers from the middle of an eastbound coal load on Bypass 2, UP engine hostlers take the units from the Bypass track back to the yard for servicing.

With the swing helpers successfully cut out of the train, the crew that brought the train off the mountain is now in the process of putting the two halves back together. 20 more feet and that goal will be accomplished!

A westbound BNSF Pueblo to Provo manifest moves west on a yellow (approach) signal on Main 3 at the Pecos Crossover. The power up front is two ES44DCs with a C44-9W stuck in between them. The second ES44DC is sporting CSX's "Dark Future" scheme.
