In the near future, this may well be the site on all BNSF coal trains. On the left, an ES44AC sits on the end of a coal train tied down on Main 2 while an SD70ACe sits on the end of a different coal train tied down on Main 3, both at Evans Street in South Denver. The track in the foreground is the southbound track for the Regional Transportation District (RTD's) Light Rail.

What was comes face-to-face with what could have been. A "green and cream" SD70MAC on the left stares at the one and only "vomit-bonnet" in the siding at Bijou.

When Burlington Northern and Santa Fe first mergered in 1995, they went through a few experimental paint schemes before standardizing on the Heritage II scheme. This was one of the experiments and it is a one-of-a-kind. It is often referred to as the "vomit-bonnet" because many railfans do not care for the "copy-cat" of the famous warbonnet.

Nearing the siding of Bijou (which is actually at Fort Morgan), this 125 car (524 axle) empty is slowing to take the siding for a meet with a westbound.

The SD70MAC not-so-affectionately known as the "vomit-bonnet" is the first of two DPU units on the back of this coal empty.

The morning started out rather cloudy, but has cleared up nicely in the afternoon. BNSF 5909 east parallels I-76 as it approaches the small town of Hudson.

On the move, this coal train moves along at 50 MPH over the gentle hills of the eastern Colorado plains.

A brand new ES44AC leads a northbound coal train into Denver off the Joint Line near MP 0.5. There is a lot of construction going on in this part of Denver right now!

Tunnel motor back on the Moffat!? Well, yes, although it is not quite wearing the proper colors…twenty years ago, who would have imaged a train on the Moffat that included a Kansas City Southern T-2 in the consist? Such was the case on this morning as the eastbound Provo to Denver heads east out of Rocky while a train they just met heads west around Big Ten in the background.

A long BNSF covered hopper train waits on the main track at Rocky for a clear signal to continue east. As is often the case, winter hit Colorado in mid-March, bringing lots of cold weather, snow, and fog!

This unit sulfur train, currently empty, is sitting in the siding at Broomfield to wait for a meet with a southbound. The third unit is CSX 4714, wearing the Dark Future paint scheme. It is quite a long way from home on this day!

BNSF's Denver to Barstow (MDENBAR-11) passes underneath 20th street on Main One as it starts it way south on the Joint Line. BNSF 7671, a relatively new (2000's) ES44DC leads. Second is a slightly older (1990's) C44-9CW. Yet older is the third unit (1980's), a C40-8CW. Finally, fourth out (and Dead-In-Consist) is the oldest of the four units (1970's), a SD45.
