One word came to mind when I first spied these three units through the view finder: ouch! The Warbonnet has definitely seen better days, but that Dash-9 in the middle is really hurting. Man, I can't stand taggers...

A scattering of EMD power is not at all uncommon in BNSFs yards. Evening though some of these units are 40 years old, they are still going strong! One unit in this shot, BNSF 2700, has been hanging out in Denver for over seven years now!

Three classic EMD units wearing three very different paint schemes! BNSF has been rebuilding and renumbering several SD40-2s including 1766.

A trio of New Image ES44ACs are getting spotted in preparation for use a little later in the day.

At first glance, it might seem as though there is nothing unusual in this shot. Just a group of units hanging out at the ready tracks in North Yard. However, upon closer inspection, note the unit on the left side of the shot. That is a former Espee GP40P-2. The steam generator has of course long since been removed, but the extended long hood and the angled radiators remain.

Yard Shots Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern (ALL)
Kansas City Southern really hit a home run with the Retro-Belle scheme in my personal opinion. So it was really great seeing a matched pair of Belle's on a military special in Denver. As it turns out, this is the first ES44 Retro-Belle that I've seen!

A Military Special came into Denver off the Limon Sub overnight. 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.

The former Santa Fe "Yellow Bonnets" are definitely becoming less and less common. While I don't dislike BNSF's New Image scheme, I was always very fond of Santa Fe's paint jobs. Here, a Yellow Bonnet SD40-2 sits with a Heritage I SD40-2 near the house in Denver.

Ten years ago you could count on finding SD70MACs on BNSF's coal train on the Joint Line. While the SD70MACs certainly haven't disappeared completed, ES44ACs and SD70ACes have become far more prevalent. Here, a northbound (about to turn eastbound) coal empty is pulling through the yard.

An interesting combo for yard switching, this former GP30 and an SD40-2 are on the Salt Mine job. I'm quite fond of the matching New Image schemes.

As more and more older units undergo rebuilds, they are also receiving repaints! This former GP30 (which is now a GP39-2 "under the hood") looks pretty sharp in its New Image scheme.

Yard Shots Hollis and Eastern
Here was a very lucky catch of a unit that just happened to be passing through town! This is a GP10 of Illinois Central vintage. More recently, this little unit has served as one of two units on the Hollis Eastern. A railroad in southwestern Oklahoma that has about 13 miles of track total. I don't know why 50% of their motive power was in Denver on this day.

I went ahead and grabbed a roster shot of this AC4400CW, if for no other reason then because I have very few pictures of CSX units on my site! After all, Colorado isn't exactly CSX country...

A very colorful consist leads up BNSF's daily Kansas City to Denver manifest. Among the three BNSF C44-9Ws is a CSX AC4400CW and a Hollis & Eastern GP10!
