Yard Shots BNSF
Earlier in the week, a pair of cascade green SD60Ms took a work train down the Front Range Sub. I wasn't able to shoot the train on the main, but I did find the power sitting near the house in BNSF's yard. The units have barely been touched from the original BN paint. Just a small "BNSF" on the cab of each unit.

I'm not a huge fan of the "New Image" that BNSF has adopted...however, I will say that this recently-painted SW1500, switching at BNSF's 31st Street Yard in Denver, is pretty sharp looking!

Yard Shots BNSF
Having not been painted in at least 12 years, some of the older Santa Fe units are really starting to look a bit tattered! Take, for instance, BNSF 2475. Built roughly 45 years ago, this GP30 has been rebuilt and is now designated as a GP30u. Wonder how this will look in the New Image paint scheme!?

Certainly not the best lighting on this overcast December afternoon, but a shot worth taking nonetheless! The Beer Run is coming into the 31st Street Yard with some very interesting power. A cascade green SD40-2 leads up a warbonnet C44-9W, a white face GP30 (now a GP39M), and a H1 B40-8.

It's been years since I last recalling seeing class lights illuminated on a unit, but UP 1344 just happened to have (white) class lights fired up while sitting in the yard at UP's 36th Street in Denver. It was nearly two years ago (Dec 17, 2005) that DRGW 3121 was patched and changed to UP 1344.

The day started with sunny skies and descent temperatures. By the time the HKCKDEN was approaching Walnut Street, however, it was freezing cold and rain was falling! A good looking consist led the Kansas City to Denver manifest, with one of only 25 C41-8W on BNSF's roster (as of the time of this photo) on the point.

One of only five "crew cab" GP50s to ever be built, BNSF 3160 was the second of two units switching BNSF's 31st Street Yard on a gloomy, overcast day. Amazingly, I have two of the five units (as of this photo) captured! Here is a link to BNSF 3159, which came down the Front Range Sub in November 2006.

Yard Shots Union Pacific, Rio Grande
The current power for the South Local and the Rocky Local sits near the yard office in North Yard. This is very close to the spot that Rio Grande regularly kept a pair of GP30s. Case-in-point is this photo from 1988. This is the oldest picture that I personally shot that I have on my site! I had just turned nine years old had a point-and-shoot camera for this particular shot.

Looking for a new place to move? How about this very new loft located across the field from Union Station and right next to the north end of the Joint Line!? An empty UP rail train passes the new lofts as well as the future location of Denver's Light Rail Hub. The dirt in the foreground will house a Light Rail station in 10 (or so) years.

A pair of UP SD70ACes lead a unit rail train down Main One on the north end of the Joint Line. UP 8573 is less than seven months old in this picture, having been delivered in mid-May of 2007.

The oldest (orange) BNSF paint scheme meets the newest (orange) BNSF paint scheme! BNSF 9297 wears a one-of-kind paint scheme - a prototype for the original Heritage scheme - and leads a New Image unit on the point of a unit tank train.

A roster shot of an SD60M that wears a one-of-a-kind paint scheme. When BNSF was first formed in 1995, two unique schemes were tested. The first scheme is on BNSF 9647 and bears the nickname the "Vomit Bonnet". The scheme featured here was a prelude to the original Heritage Scheme. The scheme is actually slightly different on each side of the unit. The (small) blue stripe shown on this side of the unit is absent on the other side.
