This westbound manifest is pulling in to the siding at Wiggins. Here, it will sit and wait for the westbound ZCHIDEN to overtake it. Unfortunately, it would then still have to wait for an eastbound in the siding at Crest, also waiting on the Z-train.

How about a different perspective for Byers Canyon? While most shots come from the south side of the rails, we are looking down on this eastbound from the north side of the rails just at the mouth of the east end of the canyon. You can see US-40 on the opposite side of the Colorado River. A few hundred feet more and the train will knock down the clear signal at the west switch of Sulphur.

After meeting UP's MNYRO at Flat, it's green signals for this extremely short BNSF manifest! The train has four units (only two of which are powered) and only 31 cars in tow.

After meeting its westbound counterpart at Leyden, this Provo-Lincoln train is whining in dynamics as it heads east toward Denver. After a crew change, the train will continue on to Lincoln, NE.

The evening light is perfect for this BNSF trackage rights train making its way west through Leyden.

Union Pacific tracks and two trains...neither of which is Union Pacific! BNSF's westbound Lincoln-Provo manifest meets its counterpart at Leyden. After a day of maintenance and no trains, a few finally started rolling in the great evening light.

It's great having Longs Peak, one of Colorado's numerous 14ers, right on the Front Range. From Littleton to La Salle, it's always fun to try to get a picture with Longs Peak in the frame! Here, the "stinky slinky" is crossing Old Wadsworth Blvd in Westminster with Longs Peak standing tall in the background.

Got sulfur? If not, this train is for you! The "stinky slinky" carries molten sulfur from Bonneville, WY to Galveston, TX. After meeting two northbounds, and now with a fresh warrant, the train is continuing on toward Denver for a crew change.

Occasionally, BNSF will send a coal empty north to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming on the Front Range Sub instead of the Brush Sub. Such was the case on this morning. This coal empty is following another northbound and already has a warrant to continue north out of the siding.

Okay, so what's the deal? A new BNSF paint scheme that is just starting to be rolled out? Nope. BNSF bought several former leaser units from GATX Locomotive Rail Group (similar to this unit) and rather than spending the money to completely repaint the units, they matched the colors and applied their logo.

One word came to mind when I first spied these three units through the view finder: ouch! The Warbonnet has definitely seen better days, but that Dash-9 in the middle is really hurting. Man, I can't stand taggers...

A scattering of EMD power is not at all uncommon in BNSFs yards. Evening though some of these units are 40 years old, they are still going strong! One unit in this shot, BNSF 2700, has been hanging out in Denver for over seven years now!

Three classic EMD units wearing three very different paint schemes! BNSF has been rebuilding and renumbering several SD40-2s including 1766.

Clouds to the west and sun to the east kills just about any shot of a westbound...except for the silhouette shot! A morning beer run is making its way through Arvada. Note the "Olde Town Arvada" name on the water tower in the distance.
