Today, BNSF has over 1,100 copies on the roster. The unit only has four traction motors. The middle axles on each truck are "dummies", making the unit an A1A-A1A unit. While BNSF management seems to love the unit, I've heard that many engineers do not care for it (due to issues with traction and loading).

The westbound Zephyr knocks down a clear signal at east Leyden and kicks up a lot of the white stuff amid a fairly heavy morning blizzard. Note the Lounge Car running directly behind the baggage car. It has been rumored this is being done to reduce the amount of diesel fumes that make it in to the coach cars. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

No doubt a great views out the sides, but the view forward or backwards from the dome up top must be truly spectacular. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, on this (very snowy) Wednesday morning, a gray KCS SD70MAC leads a BNSF manifest east out of Leyden toward Denver.

There was no horn to be heard at this moment, as the grade crossing at Simms Street has been converted to a "quiet zone", to keep Arvada a little quieter.

It is currently on lease to BNSF and led BNSF's Provo, UT to Denver, CO manifest over the former Rio Grande. From this point, it will have a straight shot the rest of the way in to the yard.
