A very close second (seeing as how it is almost identical) is the scheme worn by the 100 leaser units from Oakway. I'm a sucker for a shot of one of these SD60s anytime!

Indeed, these were some of the first units to fall of Rio Grande's roster toward the end of its life in the mid-to-late 1980's. A fair number, however, have survived to continue in switching service on BNSF's roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

On one hand we have a newly revamped GP38-2 wearing a fresh coat of blue and white GATX leasing paint. On the other hand, we have a nearly pristine (former) Cotton Belt GP40-2. Gray and blue, what do you think? These units are just one set of switchers based out of Roydale on UP's Limon Subdivision.

The railroad has two switchers (an SW1500 and an NW2) and about three miles of track to its name! However, there are a lot of industries to switch on those three miles. Here, DRIR NW2 #996 switches some cars at Monaco Street, just north of I-70. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The switcher crosses west (to the right) over Ivy Street just north of I-70. The NW2 started life as Frisco 259 before turning into Burlington Northern 419. After its life on the BN, it was repainted and wound up in the hands of the DRIR! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The switcher is taking a few cars to an industry out here before the switcher starts to head back east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Sometimes, on the other hand, it can really work to your advantage! There have been quite a few afternoon thunderstorms in the Denver area the last week or two, and the water is building up in places. Such is the case just west of Ulster Street as this loaded coal train heads east (away from the camera) for the KP line. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
