Golden (BNSF) BNSF
This train might be running on BNSF's Golden Subdivision, which primarily serves to transport cars into and out of the Coors Brewing company, but this is not the so-called "Beer Run". It is actually the Golden Switch job. There are several industries that run along the line that have nothing to do with Coors that need to be switched. Here, the switch job is bringing a few cars into town.

In the 1980s, Santa Fe ran a high priority intermodal from Big Lift (south of Denver on the Joint Line) to La Juanta. The train was symboled QDVLJ and QLJDV. It was very common for this train to run with GP30s, GP35s and GP39-2s. Some twenty years later, it was a nice surprise to find a GP30 and a GP35 - both wearing the Yellow Bonnet - heading to town from the Golden Spur.

This is something of a back-lit shot, but I decided to post it anyway. The reason being that this unit was in the consist of the MDVSI-04, getting ready to head east out of town. I have a strong suspicion that this unit might be headed for North Little Rock for a fresh coat of Armour Yellow paint!
