Golden (BNSF) MDENGOL
BNSF needed to get the Beer Run out of the yard (as it was taking up two tracks) to clear room. But the train was not yet ready to head west all the way to Golden. Instead, a crew brought the train as far as Lamar Street, where it was tied down. Lamar Street (as you can tell from this shot) is currently closed as construction progresses on the new Gold Line commuter tracks, set to open in 2016.

This former Santa Fe Warbonnet has one of the more interesting patch jobs out there. Rather than getting the typical patch on the cab, "Santa Fe" on the long hood was painted over with this not-so-standard patch (in a not-so-standard font).

This SD40-2 is running on what used to be home rails! It started life as BN 7103 before being sold to Helm Leasing, becoming HLCX 7103. It later went to CIT Rail Resources as CEFX 7103 before being repainted and renumbered to CEFX 3181.

BNSF was leasing this ex-SOO SD60, now owned by CIT Rail Resources, and put it on the point of "Beer Run". The train is pulling out of track 31 in BNSF's yard, preparing to double over to track 32 before departing toward the Golden Sub. Note the winterization hatch covering the radiator fan furthest forward. This was a common feature on SOO units.
