BNSF will throw just about anything on there. I've seen everything from SD40-2s to SD70ACes. C44-9Ws to ES44DCs. On this day, an H2 C44-9W and a H1 C44-9W power the train. The two geeps in the back will serve as the Golden Switch power in the coming week. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 102665 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 8, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 13 Golden, CO 1872 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Golden (BNSF) BNSF This shot can really take you back! A pair of Yellow-Bonnets, a GP39-2 and a GP38, will serve as power for the Golden Switch which runs east out of Golden to switch other industries on the Golden Sub. In 1987 and 1988, these same units could be found on the Joint Line, running some of the hottest trains on the Santa Fe (the QDVLJ and QLJDV from Denver to La Junta and vice versa).

It fades...and it fades a lot! A great example is the power on BNSF's Denver to Provo trackage rights train. The lead C44-9W is several shades lighter than the trailing two units.

An example was sitting in North Yard on the ready track on this particular afternoon. UP 2463 was delivered in 1992 as UP 6308. In April 2007, this unit got kicked out of the 6300-series to make room for future deliveries. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While it looks like the intermediate signal at Kipling is red (left side of the shot), it is actually flashing yellow (Advanced Approach). The red is a result of the long exposure to capture the "blur". Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
