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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Santa Fe and Canadian National were the only two railroads to purchase SD75I's. Here, one of the CN units sits between two BNSF's Dash-9's in Denver.

The Valmont Coal train is stopped in Boulder on the Front Range Sub while the conductor walks the train. The coal is provided to the Valmont power plant in Boulder by Union Pacific. However, BNSF provides the crew (and power) to get the train to Boulder from Denver. On this day, the power was CN 2680 and NS 9320, both C44-9CW's. Both are rare visitors to Colorado!
