The Golden Switcher works in the North Yard of Coors, moving between yard tracks and crossing 44th Avenue. Interesting choice for a yard switcher, BNSF 8710 is a GP60 - my favorite geep since the GP30!

The westbound Beer Run makes its way down the grade into Coors North Yard alongside 44th Avenue. On this particular day, the inbound Beer Run was comprised entirely of loaded coal hoppers. This is the first time I can specifically remember seeing an SD60 on the Golden Sub.

In honor of Norfolk Southern's paint scheme, I thought this picture should be in black and white! Two NS units on an "earthworm" train - a unit covered hopper train - enters the LoDo siding for temporary storage. The train is passing one of the many building that has popped up in LoDo in the last few years.

This is the first ex-BN GP50 that I've seen equipped as a Remote Control Unit. The unit was sitting near the house at BNSF's 38th Street facilities.

It is getting late in the evening as this northbound coal empty approaches BNSF's 31st Street Yard. The train is being led by BNSF 5875 (an ES44AC) and BNSF 9367 (an SD70ACe).

Go ahead, take a guess as to who this train belongs to! Running on UP tracks, this westbound is being led by an NS C40-9W, a CSX SD50 and a BNSF ES44AC! It is in fact a BNSF track rights train, the MPUEPVO, headed to Provo, UT. The train is just west of Leyden.

BNSF 8814 has certainly seen better days! On May 17, 2006, BNSF 8814 was the lead unit on the C-ATMSUD0-93 15 miles east of Alliance, NE. The train was moving along at 38 MPH when it rear ended a train that was stopped ahead of it. The patch jobs here are the result of repairs made to the 8814 to get it back into service!

A sign of the conditions of the day, snow blows off the ballast and the cars as this northbound HDENLAU-07 moves quickly north near Lower Church Lake. The train was moving at 48 MPH on the approach to Broomfield.

The northbound Cheyenne Local is just getting underway as it departs from Denver with BNSF 8022 and FURX 7224 for power. Note the train passing underneath the (relatively new) Belt Line Flyover in the distance.

It is one of a kind! BNSF's so-called "Vomit Bonnet" was a test paint scheme applied only to BNSF 9647 shortly after the merger. This was a test paint scheme that mixed the colors from BN's "green and cream" scheme along with the pattern of Santa Fe's Warbonnet scheme. Rather amazing that, ten years ago, the unit is still roaming the rails!

This southbound coal load on Main One crosses over Iowa Avenue just south of Denver along Santa Fe Drive (US-85). The train has just entered the triple track main that will take the train down to Littleton where it will enter track warrant territory for the trip to points south.

BNSF 8230 has just conquered the rather steep (albeit short) 2% grade in between Broomfield and Superior. The train will now descend down a 1.5% to 1.65% grade through Boulder and into Longmont.

An extraordinarily grungy SD75M (in the Warbonnet scheme) leads a colorful consist on the HDENLAU-24 north through Broomfield.

That unit on the point kind of looks like a CEFX SD90MAC leaser, but in fact it is one of the dirtiest Warbonnet's I have ever seen. BNSF 8230, an SD75M, leads the northbound HDENLAU-24 through Westminster near 80th Avenue on its journey northward.

The day before this image was taken, BNSF ran an inspection special down the Front Range Sub into Denver. After making a station stop at Union Station, the train used the passenger lead and was tied down here, near the house at 38th street. The train is only two cars long, and led by a single SD40-2.
