Yard Shots BNSF, Canadian Pacific
Here's a pretty rare visitor to Colorado! I have very few shots of any Canadian Pacific units on my website. So the fact that this is a standard cab SD40-2 makes it that much better.

Nope, I honestly didn't make a quick trip up to Winnipeg in Canada! Canadian Pacific was repaying BNSF some power miles in the form of two SD40-2s and a (SOO) SD60. The train is coming down through Hogan's Alley on Main 1. The tower at Elitch Gardens is visible in the distance.

At the south end of the Littleton Trench, the sun was finally able to break through the clouds, bringing some great Spring sunlight to this southbound manifest, running through the Trench on Main 2. Imagine, a trio of standard (Spartan) cab EMDs on a mainline freight, on a class one railroad in 2010.

The overpass on Titan Road offered a great view of this southbound BNSF Denver-Pueblo manifest. Note the winterization hatches on the radiator fans on the leading SD40-2 and the SD60. Very common on Canadian Pacific units.

These three classic EMDs are working to pull this manifest south on Main 1 over a (currently dry) creek in Louviers.

After receiving a new track warrant (with authority extending further south), this BNSF manifest (with very colorful power) throttles up to continue pulling south.

In my (very humble) opinion, the SD40-2 (and T-2) has the best profile shot of darn near any units ever produced. I really enjoyed catching two of them, along with an SD60, on a southbound manifest on the Joint Line in 2010!

Not too hard to tell where this train is! The rock, towering like a castle, kind of gives it away. A pair of CP SD40-2s and a SOO SD60 lead a southbound BNSF manifest along its way on the Joint Line.

I'm not exactly sure where this Utah Railway GP38-2 (disguised as a GP35) is headed. but it was just hanging out at the BNSF engine shop. It was originally an Espee GP35 that has been rebuilt, and internally it is now a GP38-2.

Yard Shots BNSF
While it might look like a GP30, BNSF 2809 has been rebuilt and is now designated as a GP39M. Meanwhile, what's up with the blue and white BNSF unit? This is a former Conrail GP38AC that BNSF has acquired. For the time being, they simply added their logo to the unit until some point in the future when it receives a full repaint. This blue and white scheme has earned these units the nickname "smurfs".

Time marches forward! In preparation for the major construction project that is up and coming at Union Station, tracks 2 through 5 have been ripped out. Once a temporary depot has been setup for Amtrak, track 1 will be gone too. Once construction is complete in several years, the tracks will be put back in.
