Photo ID: 101746 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 1, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1741 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Having not been painted in at least 12 years, some of the older Santa Fe units are really starting to look a bit tattered! Take, for instance, BNSF 2475. Built roughly 45 years ago, this GP30 has been rebuilt and is now designated as a GP30u. Wonder how this will look in the New Image paint scheme!?

Photo ID: 101744 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 1, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1775 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF Earlier in the week, a pair of cascade green SD60Ms took a work train down the Front Range Sub. I wasn't able to shoot the train on the main, but I did find the power sitting near the house in BNSF's yard. The units have barely been touched from the original BN paint. Just a small "BNSF" on the cab of each unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Since the SD70ACe is more like its sibling the SD70MAC inside (even though it looks more like is cousing, the SD90MAC on the outside), hopefully this unit will be around for many years to come.

Photo ID: 101723 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 25, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed 38th Street Denver, CO 1797 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots BNSF BNSF has a track that connects the north end of Rennicks to the north end of 38th Street. Before today, I had never seen the track used (although I'm sure it is used regularly). The track runs on the south side of 48th Street under I-25, around the north end of a park, then across Washington Street and the Platte River and into the yard. Here, a transfer holds near National Western Drive at a red flag, waiting for authority to come into the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Who knows if these units will ever be reactivated, or if they perished soon after the inception, similar to the U50 about thirty years ago.

The SD75's were not a hugely popular model (as far as a lot of models go). Between the SD75M and the SD75I, only 207 units were ever produced. The units have 4,300 horsepower compared to the 4,000 horsepower offered in the SD70-series units. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Because everybody goes to work in the "salt mines"! The power on this day was very unique. Two former Santa Fe units - a GP60M and a B40-8 - work the switch job.
