This is the first shot of Kansas City Southern's Retro-Belle scheme on the website here. Came across the freshly painted SD70ACe at BNSF's 38th Street Yard being moved from a fuel track to a ready track.

A cab shot of KCS 4059 at BNSF's 38th Street Yard. Kansas City Southern ordered 60 new SD70ACes from EMD, and this was the unit from that delivery. KCS has subsequently ordered another 50 SD70ACes that will be numbered 4060 to 4129.

With its train built and ready to roll, the MDVSI-09 starts pulling toward the Limon Subdivision. An SD70M leads up a C40-9 (standard cab!) and a former Espee SD40T-2. This is the only (regular) daily manifest that runs on the Limon Subdivision.

The MDVSI-09, which has an SD40T-2 in the consist, pulls east past a GP38-2 and an SD70M. The manifest is built in the yard and then shoved back toward Union Station so the power can be put on. Then, once it has permission from the yardmaster, the train pulls out of the yard toward the Limon Sub to head east to Salina, KS.

Idling away next to The House, this freshly painted SW1500 shows off its New Image paint scheme. At the time of this image, this was the only SW1500 to receive the New Image scheme.

I know this isn't the only picture I have of this unit in the gallery, but this GP10 is one of only a handful left on BNSF's roster. It is a fair bet that it will be retired sooner rather than later, so I grab as many shots of it as I can!

A peaceful look at some of the power sitting around the engine facility. Looks like BNSF 5396 had some damage repaired recently. The sun really makes the Executive scheme on BNSF 9798 look good...but who the heck left the door open!?

This is a unit that you can find in the photo gallery a week ago. However, being one of only five "crew cab" GP50s, it seemed worth while to post another picture of it. The nose on these units was shortened to offer space in the cab for two more crew members.

It's rather amazing how many Green and Cream (or Executive, if you prefer) SD70MACs BNSF still has on the roster. It seems like you are more likely than not to catch one on a PRB coal load - not that I am complaining! That Burlington Northern herald won't be around forever.
