The Beer Run, with extremely colorful power, accelerates west past the signal bridge at DS004. The two units on the point will be left in Golden as the Golden Switcher. The second two units will be used for the Beer Train power and will return later in the day with the eastbound train.

Yard Shots BNSF
When BNSF was first formed in 1995, the new railroad went through several experimental paint schemes while on the path to the eventual Heritage scheme. Most of these experimental or temporary schemes have been replaced. However, BNSF 2911 still wears a rather unique scheme. A slightly off-green paint was used to cover up the old herald and number. The unit is currently assigned as the Golden Switcher.

Even though BNSF starting taking delivery of their Evolution Series GE engines after they introduced their "New Image" scheme, several ES44DC's were still delivered wearing the Heritage 2 scheme. BNSF still had a supply a reflective decals and they wanted to dispose of them by applying them to engines rather than simply throwing them away. BNSF 7728 is one such example.

A very new ES44AC (delivered within the last few months) sits near the shops at BNSF's 38th street engine house. Even though the sun has moved to the opposite side of the unit, I still like the shot, particularly with all the snow in the foreground.

BNSF still has 70 B23-7's on the roster as of the time of this picture. Several of these units seem to have found their way to Denver and are often used in switching service. BNSF 4244 sits near the engine shops at 38th street.

Snow still covers the ground at BNSF's 38th Street shops about 24 hours after snow stopped falling in the Denver area. Not as much power as there sometimes is at the shops, but a nice splattering of color anyway. This shot was taken from the Park Avenue West overpass.

Yard Shots BNSF, Montana Rail Link
This particular Montana Rail Link SD45 has had quite a few owners over the course of its 35 year history! Built in October 1971, it was delivered as Seaboard Coast Line 2041. Since then, it has been merged or sold to Seaboard System Lines 8941, CSX 8941, VMV 8941, MRL 8941 and IMRL 8941 before finally returning to MRL! At the time of this photos, it was also the highest numbered unit on MRL's roster.

One of the few standard "spartan" cab units thus far to receive BNSF's "New Image" scheme, BNSF 6885 leads the northbound HBARDEN. This same unit was in Denver a year ago (although I didn't get a shot), coming to town on December 8, 2005 on the HBILDEN.

BNSF 5497 and BNSF 5165 south lead an empty unit Sulphur Train (GBNVGAT) through the Restricted Limits Clear Creek just north of Utah Junction. The red castle in the background was home to Westminster University starting in 1908 (it was striving to be the "Princeton of the West"). However, World War I shut the school down a mere nine years later in 1917. The city of Harris, CO changed its name to Westminster in honor of the university. Today, the castle is home to a private Christian school (K-12).

2006 or 1986? This consist certainly looks like it could be straight out of the 1980's with B23-7 #4244, GP28P (ex-GP38-2) #1599, GP39E (ex-GP35) #2926, and GP39M (ex-GP30) #2815. All units are wearing their heritage railroads colors too.

Built in 1973 in London, Ontario, this SD40-2 was sent to the Quebec North Shore & Labrador (QNS&L). It worked on the railroad in Canada until 1999 when it was sold to National Railway Equipment (NREX). On this particular day, it was being leased to BNSF.
