Photo ID: 101774 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1612 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific I'll wager that this unit (and others like it) won't be around on UP's roster long after this shot. This B40-8 (yep, a 4-axle unit) is actually of Espee heritage, delivered in 1987 as SP 8022. It was also delivered as a B39-8, but UP changed the designation in 1999. I suspect these units will follow the path of their "U-Boat" ancestors before long. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101775 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1797 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific It is always worth taking a picture of a Tunnel Motor. Doesn't matter what the conditions of the weather are or even if there are things in the way of the shot! This particular T-2 comes to UP from Espee. UP 2937 started life as SP 8264. It briefly held the number UP 4589 before making room for the SD70Ms. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101776 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 8, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 2216 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific There is something about black and white on a cold, snowy day that just seems appropriate! Large snow flakes fall in front of the camera while this former Espee Tunnel Motor poses for a shot. You can clearly see that UP 2937 started life (on UP's roster) as UP 4589. The GP40-2 to the right - UP 1364 - started life as a Rio Grande unit! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It reminds me of a mama duck moving along with its ducklings following. This SD40T-2 leads up three "baby tunnel motors"; GP15-1s.

I'll never pass up an opportunity to get a shot of a Rio Grande (even if it is patched) unit sitting in the falling snow! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There is no shortage of coal empties waiting to head west in Denver either! Tracks one and two and the main all have trains on them!

As far as I know, the spreader hasn't moved since the beginning of the New Year when it was taken to Kansas to help clear the Limon Sub.

The train is the MAKRPVO - the Akron to Provo manifest. First time I had ever heard of this particular train on the Moffat. Sometimes, BNSF will stage trains outside major yards and use the staging location as the originating terminal in the train symbol. I suspect that may have been the case here.

The lead unit - A C44-9W - sports the Heritage 2 scheme. This is still the most dominate BNSF scheme on the railroad. Next up is a second C44-9W, but this units wears the original Heritage scheme. Last but not least is an ES44DC with the New Image scheme. The train is at milepost 4.25 on the Moffat Tunnel Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
