CSX units don't show up in Denver all that often...and when they do, the typically are not standard cab GE units. However, on this snowy March 1st, a CSX C40-8 was among the BNSF units near BNSF's engine house in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105031 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Arvada, CO 1468 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Has there ever been (or will there ever be) an engine as amazing as the SD40-2? With very few exceptions, every railroad in the United States, Canada, and Mexico owned at least a few SD40-2s. And now, 40 years later, railroads are still rebuilding them and keeping them on the roster. Granted they are used for switching and local work more often than in mainline service now, but it still cool to see them on the rail. How much longer will that last?

Photo ID: 105032 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1325 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots CSX An interesting pair of (borrowed) CSX units were hanging around near BNSF's engine house on this particular afternoon. This shot does a nice job of comparing and contrasting CSX's older "Gray" scheme (on the C40-8) with their newer "Dark Future" scheme (on the ex-Conrail SD60I).

In some instances, the change had to be done rather hastily! Such is the case with the B40-8, formerly in the 8600-series. Some quick number boards and an interesting red and white patch on the cab moved this unit in to the 500-series. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105034 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1407 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots CSX I realize this is the third picture showing these CSX units sitting in BNSF's yard. The reason I wanted to add this one is I found the (former) SOO unit in the background an interesting addition. CSX and SOO, two railroads that don't (or didn't) operate anywhere near Colorado, both represented in this single shot in Denver!

This train departs out of North Yard in Denver and run to North Platte, NE. This manifest (and its counterpart), are typically the longest manifests that UP runs in to and out of Denver. In this shot, the train is approach UP Junction at the east end of the Belt Industrial Lead. The train will swing north and join with the Greeley Subdivision for the first leg of the journey north to Cheyenne, WY. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105036 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 1, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS902 (UP Junction) Denver, CO 1802 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Belt Industrial Lead (UP) Kansas City Southern I always enjoy running across a Kansas City Southern unit. I think it may be due to the fact that KCS has managed to endure through all of the mega-mergers of the last 20 years. While railroads like SP, CNW, and Conrail have fallen, KCS has persisted.

The SD70AH weighs 7,000 pounds more than a standard SD70ACe. The "H" in SD70AH represents "Heavy". UP ordered these units (with their extra steel) to put down more weight on the rails and increase their tractive effort. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train was looking at a red signal at the west end of Irondale. Despite having my scanner turned on, I never did hear why the dispatcher was holding the train west of Irondale. The train was still sitting there after departing to find other action. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
