At the time of the photo, this ES44AC was only a few months old and certainly one of the newest units on BNSF's fleet. The unit was leading a coal empty north through Denver and the lighting was too good not to take the shot!

While the GP60 is one of my favorite units of all-time, I really don't care much for the GP60M. Something about the wide cab on the short frame of a four axle unit just doesn't look quite right!

Warbonnets are becoming harder and harder to find as more and more units are being repainted in the New Image paint scheme. Even though its paint isn't quite as stunning as when it was first new, BNSF 791 is still well worth the shot.

Front Range (BNSF) Loram
In between switches on the main in Boulder, this Loram rail grinder is making its way north. The worker at the end of the train watches for any fires that might accidentally be started as a result of grinding and extinguishes them with one of the water canons on board. The cars on the siding have no power and will be picked up later in the day by the southbound HLAUDEN.

Front Range (BNSF) Loram
Just south of MP 32 and the Foothills underpass, this Loram rail grinder is slowly working its way north on the Front Range Sub. On this particular trip, only the rails on curves were being ground. The grinder was skipping right over the straight stretches.

There is a nice view of the flatirons in the background as the Loram rail grinder makes it way north at Independence Road in Boulder. The work train is just north of MP 32 and the Foothills overpass is visible in the background.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) BN
I had heard on the scanner on the drive home from Boulder that BN 9690 would be leading a train west, but it hadn't appeared west of Denver yet. I knew BN 9690 was an SD70MAC, and I was hoping that the train might be a coal empty. Unfortunately, the train turned out to be the Pueblo to Provo manifest...even so, when was the last time you remember an unpatched (green and cream) BN unit on the Moffat? After BN 9690 was BNSF 5950 (ES44AC) and BNSF 630, a former ATSF (Warbonnet) C44-9W.
