Even though they are still relatively common, one day all of the green and white BN units will be repainted into the current BNSF scheme (whatever that may be at the time). So, I try to get as many shots as I can of these beauties! BNSF 2815 is now designated as a GP39M (ex-GP30) and BNSF 2926 is now designated as a GP39E (ex-GP39-2).

This is, unfortunately, the best shot that I could get of UP 9860, formerly DRGW 5516. This unit has seen several paint scheme and several numbers since being delivered to the Grande in 1984. It started, of course, as DRGW 5516. It was later painted in the Espee fly letter scheme and numbered SP 5516. After the UP merger, it was the first former Grande SD50 to be repainted (November 14, 1997) and received the number UP 5110. That latest until August 8, 2002 when its number was changed to UP 9860. Here it sits in temporary storage at the Burnham shops.

Every since the start of December 2006, a few of the older units on UP's system have been placed in storage. Such is the case with UP 9858, sitting on a yard track in the Burnham Shops in Denver. Up until August 2001, this unit was SP 5514 (ex-DRGW 5514). It was patched after the UP merger and renumbered UP 5108. It kept that number for a mere 13 months, when it was renumbered to UP 9858 in September 2002 to make room for the SD70M's.

A string of about two dozen units sits at UP's Burnham Shops in storage. Whether or not this is temporary storage or not remains to be seen. Most of these units have been here since early December 2006. The line consists of SD40-2s, SD50s, SD60s, C40-8s and some switchers. UP 9858 (ex-SP 5514, nee-DRGW 5514) is on the south end of the string of units. The tracks in the foreground are a part of RTD's Light Rail system in Denver.

A rather unique Norfolk Southern C40-9W sits at the house at BNSF 38th street facility. The unit is wearing an Operation Lifesaver scheme. The text on the long hood beneath "Operation Lifesaver" reads "Saving Lives at America's Highway-Rail Crossings." The text in the circle to the right reads "25 Years, Operation Lifesaver". Red text printed on the white circle itself reads "You're Our Living Proof. 1972-1997." Only about ten such units received this special scheme.
