Today, the units still wear (most of) their original paint. A few EMD logos have been added (as BN returned them to EMD). EMDX 9501 is sitting here at the House in Denver, waiting to head north toward Seattle. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When first developing AC traction motors, EMD used four SD60M's as prototypes, creating the only SD60MACs ever created. The units were delivered to Burlington Northern as BN 9500 to BN 9503. The units were ultimately returned to EMD and are typically found at the testing facility outside Pueblo. Here, EMDX 9501 is headed north toward the Seattle area for unknown reasons.

Photo ID: 101830 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 19, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 36th Street Yard Denver, CO 1907 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific These two steam engines - buried in UP's 36th Street Yard - have had quite a trip from Oregon to Denver. They are ultimately headed for the San Louis & Rio Grande in Alamosa. The SLRG will use them on their tourist (passenger) trains. The steam engines original came to Denver via the Moffat, but got held at Winter Park because of clearance problems through the tunnel. So, they went back to Salt Lake and around through Wyoming. Here they sit, waiting to be moved over to North Yard and placed on the MNYPU. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I happened to catch this same unit on the Joint Line in January 2006, and it was in the H2 scheme on that day. The unit was involved in a head-on collision (and completely destroyed) in June 2006 and was rebuilt in Mexico in June 2007.

I'm not entirely sure why it was sitting on BNSF property. Perhaps it was in need of some repair and Amtrak contracted with BNSF to handle the repairs.

The fastest way to do this was via Prospect Junction and Union Station. From Union Station, the crew can shove the cars down to 36th Street. Here, the crew was take the wells cars across the diamond at 23rd Street on the Buck Main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF trains headed to or from the Joint Line cross the diamond (on one of the two main tracks). The Buck Main crosses the north end of the Joint Line, connection Union Station with Prospect Junction (and beyond). BNSF also uses the Buck Main to wye power. Such was the case here as two SD40-2s are being wyed so they can be taken to the "house". Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, being one of only five "crew cab" GP50s, it seemed worth while to post another picture of it. The nose on these units was shortened to offer space in the cab for two more crew members.

It is a fair bet that it will be retired sooner rather than later, so I grab as many shots of it as I can! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The manifest is built in the yard and then shoved back toward Union Station so the power can be put on. Then, once it has permission from the yardmaster, the train pulls out of the yard toward the Limon Sub to head east to Salina, KS.
