Burlington Northern had six SDP40s that it inherited from Great Northern, and they seemed to spend a lot of time in Denver. Fast-forward about forty years, and an SD70ACe and an SD70MAC are the power on the train on this December afternoon, just minutes after sunset.

BNSF does quite a bit of business with customers along the line, as you can see several branches with cars on them to the right. To the left is RTD (the Regional Transportation District's) G-Line commuter rail, which was built in the corridor parallel to BNSF's Golden Sub. In the distance, you can see Arvada's classic water tower. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Nearly 50 years after its original build date, BNSF 1660 is still in service and working daily. Running a local may not be as prestigious as train it once ran, but it is great so many of this classic EMD units are still on the rails.

The reference to the train being "well-blocked" means that there are groups of cars meant to be together and will likely remain together for their duration here at Coors. Today's train also has a pair of spartan cab unit that will be used on the Golden local for the next week. The local runs east out of the upper yard Monday through Friday.
