This time, the Ski Train backed down the inbound lead toward 36th Street. An interesting shot of the train with Coors Field in the distance.

This is because #6 (the eastbound Zephyr) is the only one of the two Zephyr's to use it. And it is typically well past nightfall by the time it is using it. But arriving 45 minutes early was key in helping me get this shot! The Zephyr is backing down the lead into Union Station.

The cab perhaps? You'd be correct! This is one of only five such units built and sent to Burlington Northern. The GP50 is equipped with a "crew cab" that can comfortably seat five crew members. I've been very fortunate with these units as this is the third of the five that I've manage to shoot! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 102751 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 22, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Erie Branch Thornton, CO 2321 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific As a result of the current economic recession, railroads are finding that they have boat loads of excess railcars that aren't being used. So, Union Pacific strung together over eighty box cars and shoved them 15 miles up the Boulder Industrial Lead away from Denver. The tracks here haven't been used in so long, a few grade crossing had to be rebuilt to the cars here! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The GE ES44AC is becoming more and more prevalent on coal trains everywhere. Quite the change from five years ago when SD70MACs ruled all BNSF coal trains.

However, with the slow down in the economy and an increase in the number of units railroads are placing in storage, who knows how much longer these two units - currently used for switching - will be online!

This is probably my favorite BNSF scheme (save for the Warbonnet!) ... the H2 isn't bad, but it has a bit too much yellow for my taste. I must admit the New Image is growing on my too, but this is the best. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Actually, while it still looks like an SD45-2 on the outside, the insides have been completely "revamped" and it is now an SD40-2 under the hood. A 16-cylinder engine and 3,000 horsepower. Still looks pretty sharp in the New Image scheme though. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Amtrak received several of these units for use (as the name implies) in California. It is a rare find to find one of these outside that west coast state.

A C44-9W wears the original Heritage scheme while a second C44-9W sports the Heritage II scheme. Then, on the tail end, an ES44DC has the New Image scheme.
