A roster shot of DRGW 3006 as seen from the rear quarter. The unit is headed for the Forney Museum for preservation! But first, two other pieces of equipment must be picked up from the storage track at Burnham.

The engineers side of DRGW 3006 has faired a bit better than the conductors side. Not really any graffiti on this side of the GP30. Right now, the train is backing down to pull a DRGW caboose and a DRGW crane (formerly a D&SL crane) out of the storage track at Burnham.

After being pulled out of its old resting place, a UP crew moves DRGW 3006 north on the Old Main on the east side of Burnham. Some of the skyline seemed appropriate for the old GP30.

After 20 years of sitting in the exact same spot in Burnham Yard, DRGW 3006 rolls once again! With the closing of Burnham in February 2016, some old DRGW equipment (including 3006) is all that remains in Burnham. DRGW 3006 is headed for a "forever home" at the Forney Museum.

DRGW 3006 has sat in this spot in Burnham Yard for 20 years! It was spotted here after being retired in 1998 and here it has sat ever since. But now, after two decades, the time has come for it to be moved...

With the air test on DRGW 3006 completed and the brakes properly released, the conductor on the ground gives hand signals to the engineer to go ahead and pull to the south.

BNSF's engine house in Denver tends to be feast or famine...and, as you can tell, it was feasting on this morning! Cascade green, an SD70MAC in the "Green and Cream" scheme, Heritage, Heritage 2, New Image, Tier 4, and Kansas City Southern are all represented in this one shot!

BNSF 573 is one of a very few B40-8s that are still on BNSF's active roster. This unit was delivered in April of 1989 to Santa Fe. Many of its brothers have turned in to parts donors for units like 573 that are still active. The unit was sitting by itself near the engine house on this December morning.

BNSF: Through the years! A nice collection of power and paint schemes in these four units. It includes an ES44DC in the New Image scheme, a pre-production ES44AC in the Heritage 2 scheme, a C44-9W "Goat Boat" in the Heritage scheme, and a C44-9W in the Heritage 2 scheme.

A look into the north end of UP's 36th Street Yard from the York Street grade crossing. Coors Field is clearly visible in the background. There is a clear signal for a coal load that is coming from the Belt Industrial Lead that is headed for the Limon Sub (the KP Line).

Just one single SD40-2 was in the engine house on this particular June morning. BNSF 1812 is here for its standard 92-day inspection. Once the inspection has been completed, it will be released from the shop and available for use. The unit is sitting on Line 1, close to the west end of the house.

A look down Line 3 from the east end of the engine house entrance. As you can see, this track only goes about 3/4 of the way through the house and then comes to a dead end.

A GP39-3 sits sits with its from truck missing from underneath it. The truck is also missing an axle. The axle is being replaced (with a new traction motor). Once the axle is secured back on the truck, the front of the GP39-3 will be lifted off the ground and the truck will be rolled in place underneath it.
