Photo ID: 111244 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 3, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 383 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF An SD60M and an SD75I, in matching New Image schemes, sit near the engine house in Denver. BNSF 1448 was sported Cascade Green with a white BN herald on the nose. BNSF 290 originally wore the Warbonnet scheme. Very interesting finding these two units together. They are pretty rare in 2024 as most of either model have been in long term storage. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It has been a full decade since I last shot a BNSF SD75I and nine years since I shot a BNSF SD60M! Indeed, I suspect it is the first time I've ever seen these models paired up together.

True, the paint is a bit shoddy, but it is still BN green. An SD40-2 and a former GP30, rebuilt into a GP38-3, hang out near the engine house.

Photo ID: 111206 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, October 23, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 401 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific UP 4014, a 4-8-8-4 "Big Boy" steam locomotive, was built by ALCO (American Locomotive Company) in 1941. After spending 20 years in service, it was retired in December 1961 and wound up at a museum in Southern California. UP reacquired 4014 from the museum in 2013 and moved it to Cheyenne in 2014. It was then rebuilt and once again runs under its own (steam) power. Here, on the final day of a two month tour that covered ten states (Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming).

But I also cannot deny just how cool the engine looks as steam is blowing out of it as it slowly rolls on one of the North Yard lead tracks just south of I-70.
