It is currently on lease to BNSF and led BNSF's Provo, UT to Denver, CO manifest over the former Rio Grande. From this point, it will have a straight shot the rest of the way in to the yard.

If you hadn't seen the top of an SD70ACe before, not that there are only two radiator fans instead of three. And, as with all EMD units since the SD70, the dynamic brakes are located behind the radiator. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Not only was the train led by UP 1983 (Western Pacific heritage unit), but the second unit out was this (slightly scorched) Kansas City Southern Retro Belle. Coincidentally, this just happens to be the first Retro Belle unit that I ever shot and posted, way back in December of 2007.

It crossed the Belt Main and entered the Main Track at CP DS002. After pulling down to Fox Junction, the crew on the train was ready to depart south on the Joint Line for Fort Carson. But BNSF wasn't ready for the train! With Amtrak coming, the train had to make a reverse move to get in the clear in the North Yard Siding. That worked out well for me as I got a shot of it backing down the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I'm really happy that Kansas City Southern has reintroduced this classic scheme as I find it to be one of the sharpest schemes on railroads today.

Consequently, BNSF has rerouted a lot of traffic through Colorado. As a part of the reroutes, several coal empties have run north on the Front Range Sub. Here, one waits for the dispatcher to allow the train to proceed into Broomfield for a meet. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is based on an old scheme KCS used in the 1950s called the Southern Belle.
