Photo ID: 106438 Date Shot Photo By Monday, February 13, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS012 (East Leyden) Arvada, CO 1454 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) CSX, BNSF Of the five remaining Class 1 railroads in the United States (so I'm not counting Canadian Pacific or Canadian National), I think CSX might be railroads whose engines make it to Colorado the least frequently. However, this AC6000CW just happened to come through on the BNSF Provo-Denver. CSX was the other railroad, along with UP, to give the 6000 HP units a shot. There are not many of these still roaming the rails! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A CSX AC4400CW, delivered in early 1995, was spending a little time on UP. In order to easily distinguish units with AC traction motors (instead of DC), CSX paints a lighting bolt on the cab. A helpful spotting feature! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, with an overcast sky, the lighting for this westbound was just fine. As you can see, the train is proceeding west on a clear signal at West Leyden. The new housing developments (called Leyden Ranch and Leyden Rock) can be seen in the distance. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This ES44AH, and its brother, are taking a BNSF manifest (Denver to Provo) west along with a BNSF C44-9W, which was on the point. The newest CSX logo is an interesting one, is it not?

Photo ID: 105764 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, February 4, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 1428 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) CSX, BNSF A pair of visitors from the east help out a classic Heritage 2 C44-9W on a westbound manifest at Leyden. CSX classifies these units as ES44AHs. They are essentially ES44ACs, but with a few minor differences. First off, they weigh 432,000 pounds instead of 415,000 pounds. They also have software tweaks that, combined with the increased weight, provide for a higher tractive effort at lower speeds.

From what I understand, the logo isn't actually that new, but seeing as how infrequently CSX units make their way out west, this is just the first time I've happened to catch one!

I like the shot as it nicely compares two CSX paint scheme. The gray scheme on the right had been the norm for many years. More recently, the "Dark Future" scheme - dominated by blue - came out as is now the standard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

On this particularly day, however, a pair of them came in with a train off the Brush Sub. Both units have AC traction motors, as indicated by the lightning bolt beneath the number on the cab. CSX only adds this lightning bolts to AC units. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The reason I wanted to add this one is I found the (former) SOO unit in the background an interesting addition. CSX and SOO, two railroads that don't (or didn't) operate anywhere near Colorado, both represented in this single shot in Denver!

This shot does a nice job of comparing and contrasting CSX's older "Gray" scheme (on the C40-8) with their newer "Dark Future" scheme (on the ex-Conrail SD60I).

CSX units don't show up in Denver all that often...and when they do, the typically are not standard cab GE units. However, on this snowy March 1st, a CSX C40-8 was among the BNSF units near BNSF's engine house in Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

For the last year or so, it has been much harder to predict. It has been departing anywhere between 6am and 3pm. On this chilly February morning, the train is about to knock down the signal at East Rocky five minutes before 7 o'clock in the morning. On board for the journey west is an east coast visitor!

This is the first C40-8W that I've seen (well, at least shot) in nearly six years. Highlighting the fact that older power is being utilized as much as possible by railroads right now.

On a partly cloudy July afternoon, a westbound BNSF manifest is led by a trio of units without a trace of orange...well, okay...there is a trace of orange on the lead unit. But the BNSF Warbonnet / CSX Blue and Gray / ex-SOO Leaser lashup was a very welcome sight indeed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
