So, I was really happy to nab this shot of a BNSF GP39-2 (still painted in "Yellowbonnet") with a former-Santa Fe SD45-2B sitting in North Yard in the distance, waiting to be moved to Iowa. BNSF 2854 is switching some intermodal cars around at Rennicks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here at Terrell Junction, the diverging route goes to the lower yard, while the non-diverging route goes to the upper yard. The conductors just threw the switch and is walking back to check sometime further back on the train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is setup in the standard (for BNSF) 3x(0)x3 oil train configuration. Piles of new ties waiting to be installed line both the main and the siding.

This Provo-Denver has likely met its final westbound and should have a clear shot the rest of the way to Denver. The crew went on duty at 10:30am, giving them just over six hours to make the trip in to town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 113376 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 16, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Radium (8,540 ft) Grand County, CO 200 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF For the first time ever, I finally made it down to Radium for a shot of a westbound oil empty meeting and eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver. I've never gone all the way to Radium before because it is a little bit out of the way from the main road that connects Kremmling to Bond. It is a 6-8 minute drive in and out of Radium, and typically I bypass it as I do not want to fall behind whatever train I might be chasing. However, with the light rapidly fading, it seemed like the perfect time for a few shots. Well worth it, too, as Radium is quite scenic.

However, that standard has seemingly become less common lately. While there are two DPUs on the end of this eastbound, five units are on the head end. The train here is just east of Yarmony, following along the Colorado River. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
