Photo ID: 110534 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, May 30, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Arvada to Leyden (MP 7.5 to MP 11.9) Arvada, CO 64 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ferromex, BNSF Ferromex is one of the two largest railroads in Mexico. 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.

Photo ID: 108571 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 27, 2021 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Blue Mountain Drive (MP 22.43) Arvada, CO 603 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ferromex Always great to catch some foreign visitors on the Moffat from time-to-time. 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!

Photo ID: 108228 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, June 24, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Simms Street Arvada, CO 723 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ferromex, BNSF It's always fun to catch power that is foreign to the area. 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.

Photo ID: 106926 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 30, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky (7,330ft) Arvada, CO 1192 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ferromex, Kansas City Southern, Norfolk Southern, BNSF This massive Provo-Denver (with six units on the point and one DPU on the tail end) had to stop and tie down here at Rocky. 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.
