Photo ID: 112740 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, July 13, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 36 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF A BNSF GP39-2 sits among several other units in Denver. Love seeing a classic blue and yellow painted unit (a so-called "Yellow Bonnet"), particularly when the paint has held up as well as this one has. Railfans that remember railroading in the 1980s might remember a train Santa Fe ran called the "DVLJ". It was an intermodal train that ran out of Big Lift (south of Denver on the Joint Line) to La Junta. GP39-2s were very common on that train...perhaps this geep even led that intermodal train 40 years ago. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
