Photo ID: 111257 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 3, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS003 (Utah Junction) Denver, CO 190 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific, BNSF There is quite a bit happening in this picture! First, the train passing under the signal bridge to the right is UP's MGJNY. Coming off the Moffat, the train is entering in Track 5 here at North Yard for classification. Next to it, the train on the left under the signal bridge is BNSF's HPVODEN, coming from Provo, UT. This train had been following the MGJNY just a few blocks back since Cliff and, out of necessity, is now passing it here in Denver. Meanwhile, a BNSF yard job is working on building a double stack train to the left, with the classic EMDs kicking up exhaust like they should be Alcos! The track crossing perpendicular to many of the other through the scene is the Belt Industrial Lead which leads to UP's Greeley Sub.

Trees and shrubs just west of Pecos are showing off their yellows as a C44-9W leading two SD70ACes on the point of the BNSF Provo-Denver rolls slowly by on Bypass (Main) 2, approaching a diverging approach signal ahead at Pecos Crossover.

The train would normally be on Main 3 (second from the right), but UP's MGJNY arrives just minutes earlier and is working on getting into North Yard. To avoid delaying this train, DS-378 aligned it east on Bypass (Main) 2. At Pecos Crossover, the train will move to Main 3 to continue east to BNSF's 31st Street Yard.

With very few exceptions, BNSF coal trains run in a 2x2 configuration, and this train falls right in to that standard category.

Photo ID: 111244 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 3, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed BNSF Engine House Denver, CO 290 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF An SD60M and an SD75I, in matching New Image schemes, sit near the engine house in Denver. BNSF 1448 was sported Cascade Green with a white BN herald on the nose. BNSF 290 originally wore the Warbonnet scheme. Very interesting finding these two units together. They are pretty rare in 2024 as most of either model have been in long term storage. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It has been a full decade since I last shot a BNSF SD75I and nine years since I shot a BNSF SD60M! Indeed, I suspect it is the first time I've ever seen these models paired up together.

True, the paint is a bit shoddy, but it is still BN green. An SD40-2 and a former GP30, rebuilt into a GP38-3, hang out near the engine house.
