Only two of the six units on the head end of this eastbound are BNSF, but the train itself is indeed BNSF. The first three units were on a Denver-Provo which I shot a few days ago on Thursday.

Alas, they are both facing west, so "going away" shots wouldn't be the best. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Then, of course, there are trains like this in which you have a nice mix of both BNSF and NS power! The Denver-Provo is pulling west through Barbara's Gulch.

Almost as interesting as the weather is the power on the train. A New Image ES44DC, a Heritage 2 C44-9W, and a Heritage "Goat Boat" C44-9W lead up the train west.

The train should have a straight shot through to Grand Junction with minimal delays as there isn't much rolling on the Moffat on this first day of winter.
