Photo ID: 107604 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, July 12, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Golden Golden, CO 1314 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Golden (BNSF) BNSF One of the great things about this picture is that there is a certain timelessness about it. While it is true the BNSF letting and scheme date the image somewhat, the fact that SD40-2s are still the power of choice for most yard and local jobs, this could just as easily be 1988 as 2018.

The train is about done with their daily switching and will be tying up in the yard in Golden, parallel to the Coors Brewing Copy, soon.

Photo ID: 107601 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS012 (East Leyden) Arvada, CO 1281 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF This eastbound BNSF manifest had an approach signal at the west end of Leyden and, as such, the engineer was slowing the train in preparation to stop at the east end. However, by the time the train had the east signal in sight, it, too, was an approach. The manifest was following an eastbound coal load that was moving quite slowly, keeping the manifest on yellows.

The paint schemes takes us through the years of BNSF. A New Image leads, followed by a Heritage 2, and then the original Heritage "Goat Boat".

Photo ID: 107599 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 1359 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF A relatively short BNSF Provo-Denver rolls slowly down the main at Leyden. The train had an approach (yellow) signal at the west end as it is following a slow moving coal load. If you look down the tracks a bit on the siding, you'll note the house track at Leyden. Once upon a time (when Rocky Flats was still around), the house track almost always had some hopper cars on it that the West Local would switch. These days, however, it is typically empty and full of weeds. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP is using a borrowed ES44C4 from BNSF to bring up the tail end of this eastbound coal load as it departs the siding at Mesa.

Here, a westbound covered hopper train is entering in to the yard on the yard lead. The engines seen are the rear DPUs, slowly moving away from the photographer.

Here, a pre-production ES44DC and a C44-9W lead a baretable west on the Transcon just west of Kingman, AZ along classic Route 66.

And, as one might expect, they are shipping by rail more and more! The rather unique blue trailers are a welcome sight on intermodal trains on BNSF's Transcon route.

This intermodal train is the hottest on the BNSF system and has a lot of UPS, FedEx, and Amazon trailers in tow. Kingman Canyon is a beautiful place to spend some time and just watch some trains.
