A CEFX leasor SD60 adds a splash of color...or perhaps, more accurately, a splash of lack of color...with its dominate white scheme. This eastbound manifest is round a long curve just west of Keensburg, which is visible in the distance.

A former SOO SD60 (now owned by CIT Finance, a railroad leasing company) heads east out of Denver on a manifest. I thought it was particularly fortuitous, catching this unit, as I have shot it a couple of times over the previous nine months in and around Denver. For most of its time in town, it was used as power on the Beer Run between Denver and Golden.

Construction crews have started laying the second track for Gold Line. While the existing track has been open for awhile - and is being used by BNSF for the time being - the second track is not yet active.

The westbound Beer Run has some pretty great power on it as it approaches Parfet Street in Arvada. This scene won't be possible in a year or two. The Beer Run is running on what will become one of the two main tracks of the Gold Line. You can see the second commuter track, covered with snow, to the right of the train.

Perhaps the most colorful consist on the Moffat in quite some time, this BNSF manifest is led by a Warbonnet C44-9W, a CSX C40-8W, and an ex-SOO SD60. All three units (plus two DPUs on the end) were working as hard as they could, although they were only making about 15 MPH up the hill.

When I was a kid, I had an HO SOO SD60 that I always liked. So it was great to see the real world version on this BNSF manifest. Granted it isn't technically SOO anymore...it is now a CEFX leaser! At first, I thought it was the same ex-SOO leaser that has appeared on the Beer Run lately. But that was CEFX 6012.

After crossing Miller Street, the Beer Run pulls slowly west on the Golden Sub. If you look close, you can see the tracks curve to the right just ahead. BNSF's track was ripped out here (the track had been straight) due to RTD Gold Line (commuter rail) construction. The track the train is using in the mean time is one of the commuter rail tracks. BNSF's track will be move further south, away from the commuter rail tracks. Once put back in, BNSF will stop using the commuter rail track.

Even though Soo never ran in (or really anywhere near) Colorado, for some reason the paint scheme is very nostalgic for me. I do seem to recall having an HO model in the Soo scheme, so maybe that is why! Here, this former Soo SD60 is now a CEFX leaser. BNSF is utilizing its services to free up its own (more modern) power in road service.

A bright blue CEFX SD40-2 leaser idles away as the second of four units on the Beer Run. The train is sitting at Tennyson Street awaiting a fresh crew.

An eastbound coal load meets a westbound coal empty at the siding of Tonville along I-76 northeast of Denver. The last DPU'd unit is a blue CEFX leaser. It was a busy afternoon on the Brush Sub, with Amtrak 5 running nearly 8 hours late and entering the picture soon after this shot.

The first Soo unit I've ever shot (even though it technically isn't Soo anymore)! This former Soo SD60 is now a Capital Leasing (CEFX) unit currently serving on BNSF.
