Photo ID: 104743 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, June 7, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Irondale Henderson, CO 2349 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF These days, freight trains do not typically (in general) run on a schedule. However, there are exceptions...at least to some extent! BNSF runs a single Z-Train into and out of Denver. The ZDENCHI and ZCHIDEN consist of COFC and TOFC cars (including UP trailers). The ZDENCHI departs Rennicks Yard each morning usually around 8:30am. If Amtrak is on time, this is usually right after it departs. On this Saturday morning, Amtrak was running late. As a result, the Z-Train is approaching a restricting signal at west Irondale. It will have to wait about 15 minutes for the tardy Zephyr to show up.

A fair amount of opposing traffic would result in the train sitting here for quite awhile awaiting a signal more favorable that stop!

It is just about a foot longer than the traditional ES44AC. Must need the extra foot for the equipment used to meet EPA Tier 4 emissions standards.

It is noticeably larger and has a greater slope that previous iterations. The single number board in back is somewhat interesting too. Unlike the popular (with BNSF, anyway) ES44C4 - whose axle configuration is A1A-A1A - this prototype has all six axles powered.
