Particularly when it is a visitor from the south or north of the border! Second out on this westbound oil train is a Ferromex SD70ACe. Ferromex, of course, is one of the two largest railroads in Mexico. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Ferromex is the main railroad in Mexico, along with Kansas City Southern de Mexico. This particular unit looks like it could stand a bit of fresh paint. The door is also open. This is actually the second time I've noticed the nose door open on a Ferromex unit in Colorado. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 111273 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, November 5, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 137 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ferromex Well, I cannot tell you why, but for some reason, the nose door is missing from this Ferromex SD70ACe! The unit is currently power-shared with BNSF. I cannot help but wonder if the unit is making its way back to Mexico and home rails so the nose - and whatever else might need repairing - can be fixed.

Not too long ago, Ferromex unveiled a new paint scheme that focuses on gray. The old scheme had green in it, which is essentially been dropped in this new scheme. Prior to this shot, I had not seen one in person. This one was helping out as a DPU on an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver manifest.

The green and red units are likely not use to this high altitude and snowy weather as the train is just a few miles east of the Moffat Tunnel.

A pair of SD70ACes from south of the border are helping out a westbound BNSF coal empty. The train will load in Utah and head back east in a few days. With a little luck, maybe the FXE units will lead the eastbound. These are actually the first two EMD FXE units that I've seen in person!

Along the Front Range, it is pretty much all BNSF and UP, all the time. So seeing a visitor from the south such as this Ferromex ES44ACs is particularly cool.

At the time, BNSF had no room train in the yard. A van is coming out from Denver to pick up the crew and take them to their hotel. When the yard is ready, a Denver-based crew will come out and take the train the remaining 17 or so miles in to the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Fortunately, the train was restricted to 20 MPH between Crescent and Rocky due to high winds. That gave me some extra time to climb around in the Jefferson County Open Space to try to find the best perspective possible.

Only two of the six units on the head end of this eastbound are BNSF, but the train itself is indeed BNSF. The first three units were on a Denver-Provo which I shot a few days ago on Thursday.
