One of only a handful of "Baby Tunnel Motors" (GP15-1's) on BNSF's roster hangs out near the house in Denver. BN brought 25 GP15-1's over to the BNSF roster, although many of those have now been sold off to Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX). Prior to being BN, this unit was actually a Frisco GP15-1, delivered as SLSF 103 in August 1977.

An eastbound BNSF that I have not heard of previously came east on the Moffat on the Saturday. The train was a Grand Junction to Amarillo manifest (symbol: HGJCAMA) that will stop in Rennicks before continue south on the Joint Line later in the day.

BNSF 4045 leads the eastbound Provo to Denver manifest through the S-curves at Blue Mountain. The train is comprised mainly of tank cars, and cars buried further back in the train can be seen in the distance.

BNSF's Provo to Denver manifest (comprised primarily of tank cars) slows to stop at the grade crossing near the east end of East Portal siding. The train will switch crews so the fresh crew can take the train all the way to Denver.

BNSF's westbound HDENPVO-03 is just starting on its 500+ mile trackage rights trip between Denver and Provo. There was a colorful consist on the train today, with BNSF 4880 (in H2) leading, followed by two Ferromex units. The first, FXE 4544, is an AC4400CW. The second, FXE 4643, is a new ES44AC.

One of my favorite units from the pre-BNSF era would have to be the SD60M's that BN ordered in 1992. Some units have the typical two-pane wind shield, while some have a three-pane wind shield. I personally prefer the two-pane as seen here!

BNSF Hostlers take an interesting (and very colorful) consist to "the house". The unit that appears to be UP is actually now owned by Helm Leasing and is numbered HLCX 5957. The unit an SD60 of Chicago North Western heritage. HLCX 5957 is ex-UP 5957, nee-CNW 8026. The unit painted in UP colors on May 9, 1997 and was retired by UP on January 4, 2002.

Even though they are still relatively common, one day all of the green and white BN units will be repainted into the current BNSF scheme (whatever that may be at the time). So, I try to get as many shots as I can of these beauties! BNSF 2815 is now designated as a GP39M (ex-GP30) and BNSF 2926 is now designated as a GP39E (ex-GP39-2).

Even though it is less that a year old, the bottom half of this ES44DC is starting to show some wear! BNSF 7789 leads the HDENKCK-07 (Denver to Kansas City) south toward the Joint Line. The front of the unit is evidence of the snowy winter the mid-west has had.

BNSF doesn't have all that many switchers on the roster these days. More often, rebuilt GP30's, GP35's or SD40-2's are used for switching. However, you do run across a classic switcher from time to time. Such is the case here with SW10, BNSF 3630.
