The CP paint scheme is, of course, one that will be disappearing in the months and years to come after the merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern, creating CPKC.

Once the Z-train, which is clipping along at 50+ MPH, clears the east switch, the Q-train will get a light to proceed east.

The train on the main is the ZCHIDEN, which is the highest priority train that BNSF has in the state of Colorado. So, no surprise that the Q-train is the train in the siding.

The Z-train largely consists of JB Hunt containers, and is the hottest train that BNSF runs in Colorado. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113880 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 25, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tonville Weld County, CO 1 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF A brand new Boeing 737-8 MAX sits on on a flat car (without its wings, of course) on an eastbound Q-train in the siding at Tonville. The fuselage is headed to the Boeing assembly plant at Renton, southeast of Seattle, for final assembly. Interestingly, in this shot, an American Airlines plane is on final approach at Denver International Airport. It was too far away to identify, but if it is a 737, there is a good chance its fuselage may have once been on a train, right here at Tonville as well!

In fact, this is the first GP60M that I have shot in 17 years! Not since 2009 have I managed to catch one. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There was a little breeze, creating ripples in the pond, disrupting what would have otherwise been the perfect reflection shot. Ripples or not, this might have been my favorite shot of the day.

Rennicks Yard represents BNSF's entire intermodal presence in Denver. Granted, it is not an insignificant yard, seen here form the north end.
