The apartment and condo complex in the background is very new. Ten years ago, none of that had been built and that area was occupied by an empty field.

This is the first C40-8W that I've seen (well, at least shot) in nearly six years. Highlighting the fact that older power is being utilized as much as possible by railroads right now.

Photo ID: 104860 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Utah Junction Denver, CO 1804 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF This northbound BNSF manifest is just starting its journey on recently laid tracks just north of Utah Junction. In the background, you can see a new commuter rail bridge which is nearing construction. The commuter rail will serve the "Gold Line", running from Union Station in Denver out to Arvada and Wheat Ridge northwest of Denver. The track is also passing underneath UP's North Yard Bypass tracks (primarily used by coal trains). Up and to the right, you can see UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub mainline and North Yard siding.

Photo ID: 104859 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1917 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF With the recent surge in the rail industry, Class 1 railroads have been pulling out all the stops and reactivating older power. BNSF activated (and renumbered) their SD75Ms and SD75Is, the majority of which still wear the Warbonnet scheme. One such example is BNSF 205 (which, until recently, was BNSF 8205), seen here in Denver on a cold final day in November. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The scheme, and the "Heritage 2" scheme, were both developed as tributes to the Great Northern, one of the original railroads that merged to form Burlington Northern.

Photo ID: 104856 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 30, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 1504 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Ten years ago, the C44-9W (AKA Dash 9-44CW) was king of BNSF's roster. They had more of these on the roster than any other model. Today, the ES44DC and ES44AC (including the ES44C4) reign king. Good to see the paint scheme still in pretty great shape here on BNSF 4078.

The first day of October in 2014 was a good day for it around the Denver area! Crazy clouds hover over this Denver to Provo manifest that happens to have a early production ES44DC. BNSF started to take delivery on the ES44DC in January 2005 (nearly 10 years ago already). Since the "New Image" scheme came a little later in 2005, some of these early ES44DCs were delivered in the Heritage 2 scheme.

The train had to stop here for several hours due to a communication failure between the head end and the sole DPU on the rear.

BNSF has been aggressively buying ES44C4s very aggressively. They have nearly 1000 on their roster now. The ES44C4 only has four powered axles. It is an A1A-A1A unit. BNSF 6550 happens to be one such unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
