This particular units joined UP's roster in 2008 as part of an order of 50 such units. They are not super common in Denver as there is such a focus on coal in Denver and SD70ACes, at this point, are seldom - if ever - used as coal power.

The units have spent their entire lives in the 8000-8308 number range. Now, in order to make room for new power, the units are being moved to a number range that, for several decades, was held by UP's SD40-2 force. It looks quite odd to see this unit with such a lower number after 17 years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, it is a testament to the quality of EMD power that this nearly 35-year-old unit is still on the rails. Sure hope EMD can find some new life under Caterpillar.

The concrete tie plant (owned by Rocla) that used to be located just east of BNSF's Rennicks Yard has been moved to Pueblo, CO. The reason? RTD and the FasTracks project! The old building for the tie plant has largely been torn down and can be see way off in the distance. Meanwhile, a lot of construction has already been completed on the new Light Rail flyover.

A new BNSF paint scheme that is just starting to be rolled out? Nope. BNSF bought several former leaser units from GATX Locomotive Rail Group (similar to this unit) and rather than spending the money to completely repaint the units, they matched the colors and applied their logo.
