This Canadian National SD75I was something of a treat here in Colorado! The unit the second of two on BNSF's daily Kansas City to Denver priority manifests.

I always think it is worthwhile posting pictures of patched units. This AC4400CW was CNW 8829 up until June 2004 when it received its patch. Considering it has been 14 years since the UP/CNW merger, I'd say this unit is looking pretty darn good!

BNSF's HDENLAU had a rare treat on this particular morning. A Zebra-striped full body Canadian National SD60F was included in the consist. Canadian national is the only railroad that ordered several full body units from EMD and GE after 1970.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Canadian National
While Union Pacific purchased over 1,000 SD70Ms, Canadian National ordered the unit with a minor variation. This is an SD70I, which is like the SD70M, but with an EMD WhisperCab. Only 26 units were produced and all went to Canadian National. Not a bad catch for the middle of Colorado!

UP's passenger special - moving their business cars from Oakland, CA back to Council Bluffs, IA - heads east through the S-Curves on Main Two at Archer. UP 1995 was just an added bonus on this great looking train.

Each Winter, UP stores is passenger cars in Oakland, CA. Each Spring, the cars are moved to their summer base in Council Bluffs, IA. This year, the 20 car train had the CNW Heritage Unit (UP 1995) on the point as it made its journey. Here, the train is just outside Cheyenne where it will receive a crew change.

After stopping at the north end of Broomfield, the conductor from the DENLAU has thrown the switch from the main to the siding. The train has a track warrant all the way to North Yard (in Fort Collins) and it is getting ready to roll in that direction!

A rare treat on this Denver to Laurel, MT freight as a Canadian National cowl SD60F joins the lead power. Internally, the unit is just an EMD SD60. However, there are no external walkways. You can walk alongside the prime mover inside the shell of the unit to get to the next unit. Canadian National has 86 such units on their roster.

The DRGW Heritage Unit (UP 1989) and the CNW Heritage Unit (UP 1995) look pretty good lashed up together. Rumor has it that one of UP's Board Members was a fan (or perhaps even worked for) the CNW, which is likely why this is the second heritage unit chosen for the trip.

An eastbound BNSF manifest holding the mainline a Tabernash necessitated UP's Board of Directors Special to run through the siding. Here, the special is approaching the west end of the siding.

Of all the units that I may have guessed I'd shoot crossing over this old Grande bridge of Indiana Avenue, a Canadian National C40-8M cowl unit was *not* one of the ones that would have come to mind! Yet, here it is, the sixth unit on an eastbound BNSF manifest.

Very turbulent weather across Colorado, including (unfortunately) a deadly tornado in the Greeley area, led to some interesting cloud patterns. A former Chicago & North Western AC4400CW (ex-CNW 8804) leads a westbound coal empty west of Leyden.

Perhaps the reason Chicago and North Western chose green and yellow as their colors is due to the location of their tracks: the midwest. The colors remind me of a corn and wheat fields...just perfect!

In this shot of UP 1995, the CNW Heritage Unit, the flash highlights the reflective decals. I particularly think the green decals make this unit particularly attractive after dark.
