Photo ID: 105789 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 7, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS004 (Pecos X-Over) Denver, CO 1380 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) CREX, BNSF Because of the light traffic levels of late, BNSF's Denver to Provo typically runs on UP's main between Fox Jct and Utah Jct (whereas, when things are busy, it usually uses BNSF's main track between those points and crosses over at Utah Jct). No doubt sticking to UP's main is faster! Here, the tank-dominated train is moving at track speed at the Pecos crossover. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

About 18 months ago, when railroads could not keep up with all the rail traffic, BNSF leased 100 of these ES44ACs. Now that rail traffic has dropped off, units are going in to storage left and right.

I got a heads up from a friend that BNSF's Denver to Provo manifest would be running west with a CREX-leased ES44AC on the point! These leasors showed up on BNSF in 2014 when the railroad was experiencing a power shortage. The train just met the West Local at CP DS007 and is now headed west toward Leyden where it will meet its counterpart and the eastbound California Zephyr.

The crew went on duty at 11am, but the train didn't leave Denver until 4:30pm. Now, due to a fair amount of traffic on the Moffat, the train is holding. Here it will wait for the eastbound West Local, which was east of Leyden as of this picture. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can see the northbound that it is meeting in the siding at Broomfield in the distance. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

These interesting (not necessarily colorful, as they are mainly gray) units, leased from CitiRail, are always fun to find on a train. Not sure how much longer their lease will last!

Photo ID: 105163 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 3, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Byers Byers, CO 1374 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Limon (UP) Union Pacific, CREX As a result of the power shortage, the railroad leasing company CitiRail (a subsidiary of CitiBank) recently ordered 100 ES44ACs. Upon delivery, the units were leased out to BNSF. That fact makes this an interesting shot, as this is a CitiRail unit, leased to BNSF, and now being borrowed by UP on an empty oil train!

BNSF has leased multiple ES44ACs from them during their power shortages in the last year. While the paint scheme may be a tad bland, it is always fun seeing something different!

Photo ID: 104735 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, May 6, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 31st Street Yard Denver, CO 2926 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots CREX, BNSF Due to a huge boom in the demand to haul oil by rail, BNSF has found itself with a bit of a power shortage. As such, a lot of CitiRail leasers have appeared on the property to help cover the gaps. Here is one such unit with its overly-colorful nose and underly-colorful body.
