An almost three hour late Zephyr knocks down a green signal at East Irondale, the Denver skyline visible in the distance. I'm not sure why two extra sightseer lounge cars were on the train this morning, but it made for a bit of a unique shot.

A rather unusual consist on the Zephyr this morning as a quartet of P42DCs lead the train. The train also has an extra sleeper, and two additional sightseer lounge cars on the tail end. The train is approaching the east switch of Irondale, running just under three hours late.

I really like the fact that BNSF still has a significant number of units still wearing original Santa Fe or Burlington Northern paint schemes (save for the patching). BNSF 1656 is still wearing cascade green and has its nose stripes as it leads an eastbound local between Fox and Sand Creek.

A pair of SD40-2s lead a local coming out of BNSF's 31st Street Yard. The train is crossing over the Denver and Rock Island.

In a rare morning appearance, a 14-hour late eastbound Zephyr rolls through Commerce City, just beyond the diamond with the UP Greeley Sub at Sand Creek.

A 14-hour late eastbound Zephyr crosses the diamond at Sand Creek. The train is passing underneath I-270 after just by the Suncor Oil Refinery. Not too often that the Zephyr is headed east through here at this time of the day.

Just minutes before the sun dipped behind the mountains, the last bit of sunlight lights up the side of this eastbound BNSF Q-train, including three Boeing 737 fuselages.

This eastbound BNSF Q-train finally has a green signal to depart the siding of Tonville eastbound. The last bit of direct sunlight lights up the six units leading this eastbound BNSF Q-train under some beautiful, stormy clouds.

Some dramatic evening storm clouds are lit as the sun breaks through the clouds to the west, illuminating three Boeing fuselages on this Q-train at Tonville. The first fuselage is a 737-9 MAX and the second two are 737-8 MAXs. They are headed to final assembly at Renton in Seattle.

A pair of Canadian Pacific units (an ES44AC and a AC4400CWM) are on this eastbound BNSF Q-train, stopping in the siding at Tonville. The CP paint scheme is, of course, one that will be disappearing in the months and years to come after the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, creating CPKC.

Sunset is not far off as BNSF's Z-train streaks by two Boeing fuselages that are currently in the siding at Tonville. Once the Z-train, which is clipping along at 50+ MPH, clears the east switch, the Q-train will get a light to proceed east.

Two of the highest priority trains that BNSF runs on the Brush Sub meet at the siding of Tonville. The train on the main is the ZCHIDEN, which is the highest priority train that BNSF has in the state of Colorado. So, no surprise that the Q-train is the train in the siding.

An eastbound BNSF Q-train is in the siding at Tonville, meeting BNSF's westbound ZCHIDEN (Z-train from Chicago, IL to Denver, CO). The Z-train largely consists of JB Hunt containers, and is the hottest train that BNSF runs in Colorado.

A brand new Boeing 737-8 MAX sits on on a flat car (without its wings, of course) on an eastbound Q-train in the siding at Tonville. The fuselage is headed to the Boeing assembly plant at Renton, southeast of Seattle, for final assembly. Interestingly, in this shot, an American Airlines plane is on final approach at Denver International Airport. It was too far away to identify, but if it is a 737, there is a good chance its fuselage may have once been on a train, right here at Tonville as well!

After the evening Zephyr overtook this Q-train here at Tonville, the Q-train still has to wait a little bit longer as the Zephyr is meeting a Z-train at Hudson, the next siding to the east.
