The Canadian units are leading a BNSF manifest east in the siding at Leyden. The train will stop at the east end and the crew will tie the train down.

I do find it interesting that they put their website on each engine...not a bad marketing strategy. This ES44DC is second out on BNSF's Provo-Denver trackage rights train, taking the siding at Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

First off, I only see a Canadian National unit once every couple years (on average). Second, this is an SD70M-2, the DC version of the SD70ACe. Neither UP nor BNSF bought any of these, making them extremely rare in Colorado. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Particularly foreign power that is seldom seen here in the middle of the United States. BNSF was borrowing a pair of Canadian National units on this particular day. Originally, there were three of the red, white, and black units, but one was pulled off the train in Provo, UT. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train, with two Canadian National units on the point, was called in Grand Junction at 7:30am and had a good run east toward Denver. The train is now taking the siding at Leyden (where it will tie down) as there is currently no route in to the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the recent need for power, Class 1 railroads seem to be sharing more power among themselves. This SD75I is one of 172 such units on Canadian National's roster.

Internally this unit is simply a GE C40-8. Since it has the cowl body, it is designated as a C40-8M. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is an SD70I, which is like the SD70M, but with an EMD WhisperCab. Only 26 units were produced and all went to Canadian National. Not a bad catch for the middle of Colorado!
