Canadian Pacific units show up in Colorado on rare occasions. However, this is the first time I happened to see one on a UP coal train on the Moffat! It has seen better days, too. A lot of the paint is chipping and pealing. And the lower half of the unit is covered in grime.

Canadian units don't make it to Colorado all that often, so it is always fun to see a stray red unit on a train. Participating in some power sharing, this Canadian Pacific AC4400CW is second out on BNSF Denver, CO to Provo, UT trackage rights manifest. From the looks of it, seems like a new paint job may not be too far off in the future for this beat up trooper.

Here is a unit that is no stranger to frigid conditions! It isn't too often than Canadian Pacific units find their way to Colorado. Looking dirty, beat up, old and worn down, it was still nice to see on this BNSF manifest at Tolland.

While I try not to overdo roster shots, how can you pass up a roster shot of a Canadian Pacific C44-9W in Colorado...in winter no less!? It seems that of the two big Canadian railroads, Canadian National is the one that tends to appear in Colorado on BNSF.

In my (very humble) opinion, the SD40-2 (and T-2) has the best profile shot of darn near any units ever produced. I really enjoyed catching two of them, along with an SD60, on a southbound manifest on the Joint Line in 2010!

The overpass on Titan Road offered a great view of this southbound BNSF Denver-Pueblo manifest. Note the winterization hatches on the radiator fans on the leading SD40-2 and the SD60. Very common on Canadian Pacific units.

At the south end of the Littleton Trench, the sun was finally able to break through the clouds, bringing some great Spring sunlight to this southbound manifest, running through the Trench on Main 2. Imagine, a trio of standard (Spartan) cab EMDs on a mainline freight, on a class one railroad in 2010.

Nope, I honestly didn't make a quick trip up to Winnipeg in Canada! Canadian Pacific was repaying BNSF some power miles in the form of two SD40-2s and a (SOO) SD60. The train is coming down through Hogan's Alley on Main 1. The tower at Elitch Gardens is visible in the distance.

Here's a pretty rare visitor to Colorado! I have very few shots of any Canadian Pacific units on my website. So the fact that this is a standard cab SD40-2 makes it that much better.

Running along the Valmont Reservoir has finally received a track warrant to proceed to Denver. The light Canadian Pacific power had to sit at MP 32 for two hours while waiting for the Valmont coal train to clear the main track.

A pair of Canadian Pacific AC4400CWs running light down the Front Range Sub approach Independence Road in north Boulder. Another 1,000 feet or so and the power will come to a stop and wait for nearly two hours while the Valmont coal train switch on the main ahead.

A rare set of power heads down the Front Range Sub through Longmont. A pair of Canadian Pacific AC4400CWs are running light (with no train), heading back to Denver. Believe it or not, these are the first Canadian Pacific units that I've actually shot and placed on this website!
