There was no horn to be heard at this moment, as the grade crossing at Simms Street has been converted to a "quiet zone", to keep Arvada a little quieter.

However, on this (very snowy) Wednesday morning, a gray KCS SD70MAC leads a BNSF manifest east out of Leyden toward Denver.

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.

That fact is unlikely to change anytime soon. It sounds like GE will have a Tier 4 compliant engine ready by mid-2015 whereas EMD says they won't even have a prototype until 2016 and won't be ready for production until 2017! All new engines must meet Tier 4 EPA emissions standards starting January 1, 2015. 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.

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.
