Photo ID: 108469 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, September 5, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Barr Adams County, CO 1178 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF It is hard to believe that it has in fact been 25 years since Burlington Northern merged with Santa Fe to created BNSF. That's just a year shy of how long Burlington Northern existed! It was created in 1970 and, of course, became part of BNSF in 1996 with the merger. You can see the BN logo represented on the long hood of the unit, along with Santa Fe and the railroads that merged to make BN in 1970.

Photo ID: 108244 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, June 27, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East of Hudson Adams County, CO 1043 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF The Front Range does not see much intermodal traffic, compared to many other parts of the country. However, one intermodal train you can find 5-6 days a week is BNSF's Denver to Chicago Z-Train (and its counterpart). It is the highest priority train in or out of Denver. The train departs Denver in the mornings, typically between 6:30am and 8:00am. The Chicago to Denver generally arrives Denver between 5:00pm and 7:30pm. Here, just east of Hudson, today's Z-Train has a trio of GEs on the point making track speed over Box Elder Creek. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The dispatcher had a great meet set up, and the Z-Train was stopped for less than 15 minutes. I love this perspective as you get water, the plains, and mountains all in the scene.

In the distance, you can see Longs Peak, one of Colorado's numerous 14-ers, standing tall in the morning sun. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, in the summer months, there is still a bit of light when it heads east. Here, just days before the official start of summer, the Chicago-bound train is right on time as it passes by Barr Lake, about 18 miles east of Denver Union Station.

Here, the three GE units on the head end knock down the signal at West Tonville. The west switch is located nearly a small pond that helps to offer a nice foreground.

When I setup for this shot, the scene was bathed in great lightning. Alas, a cloud blew in and added shade to the scene a mere 30 seconds prior to the arrival of the train! Ah well...the curve at Keensburg still looks mighty fine, even in the shade. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
