A former Espee SD45T-2 is working to switch cars at the Twin Eagle Bill Rail Terminal as a coal load passes by eastbound on Main 1. This is a transload facility that is served by both Union Pacific and BNSF.

One of the units used for switching at the Twin Eagle Bill Rail Terminal is this GP38 in Genessee and Wyoming colors. The unit was originally delivered to Southern Railway (#2795) in February 1970. Since then, it went to Norfolk Southern, and then a number of short lines before landing with Progress Rail Leasing.

At the Twin Eagle Bill Rail Terminal, we see a low nose GP9 being used for switching. This particular unit was built in August 1957 and delivered to Northern Pacific. It would become BN 1913 after the BN merger in 1970, and then BNSF 1626 after the BN/SF merger in 1995. It is now a lease unit, as seen here.

Just south of Bill is the Twin Eagle Bill Rail Terminal. It is a transload facility operated by Wyoming Connect Railroad, a short-line railroad owned by the Genessee and Wyoming. One of the units used for switching is this PRLX (Progressive Rail Leasing) SD45T-2! The unit was delivered as SP 9225, later renumbered to SP 6845. It was renumbered UP 2856 before being retired and winding up as this PRLX leaser.

Some early morning clouds hang out as UP 4547 sits in the Cheyenne Yard. This ET44AC was delivered new from Wabtec (formerly GE) to Union Pacific in December 2025 (build number 66987). There is speculation that the unit was painted up to try to make favor with the Trump administration to help "grease the wheels" and get approval for the UP/NS merger. It is also speculated that the unit will ultimately be donated (eventually) to the Trump Presidential Library, similar to UP 4141.

A roster shot of UP 4547 in the Cheyenne Yard, on display for the Union Pacific Historical Society. After missing it leading a train eastbound a few months ago, I was concerned I would never get the chance to see it. I was really glad I had the opportunity on this morning.

Whether you love Trump or hate Trump, I never turn down the opportunity to shoot a unit with a unique paint scheme! UP 4547 is in Cheyenne for the Union Pacific Historical Society, and there was a nice, fortuitous puddle right nearby.

UP 4302 is an SD70M that was delivered to Union Pacific on January 29, 2001. It was part of a 1,000 unit order back in 2000, but the end of its life might be near. It has been in long term storage, and it is possible that it is getting ready to head to the torch.

A pair of UP units sits near the car repair shop on Yard Track 25. It is not entirely clear why they are here, but it is possible that the SD70M might be getting ready to head off for scrap.

A Ferromex ES44AC sits on a ready track at BNSF's Engine House in Denver. Always great to capture a visiting unit from a railroad that doesn't typically come through Colorado.

Union Pacific's North Yard to BNSF's 31st Street yard transfer is getting ready to depart North Yard and head over to 31st Street with a long string of cars. UP and BNSF regularly interchange cars in Denver to accommodate customers' shipping needs.

Yard Shots Utah Railway
Utah Railway 5004 was built by Morrison Knudsen in August 1995 as an MK5000C. The unit, one of six, had a 5,000 HP caterpillar prime mover. The six units were great for hauling heavy coal trains, but developed some mechanical issues. In 2003, they were rebuilt as MK50-3s, with their prime movers and alternators replaced with those from retired SD50s. They served on Utah Railway until 2017. After the decline of the coal, Genessee and Wyoming (parent company of Utah Railway) reassigned the six units to another railroad they owned, the KYLE in Colorado and Kansas. Increasingly, the units were being used for parts. Last month (June 2026), it was announced that UTAH 5004 will be preserved at the Utah State Railway Museum in Ogden, UT. In this shot, the unit is in North Yard in Denver, making its way toward Ogden.

I'm thinking this unit may have recently been rebuilt. Or, at a minimum, was recently repainted. The "Dark Future" on this CSX unit looks darn near pristine as the fourth unit on the BNSF Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest.

Many of BNSF's Warbonnets still exist, and many of them have held up pretty well over the past few decades. BNSF 4717 is a great example, third on the southbound Laurel-Denver manifest this morning.

A relatively short Laurel to Denver manifest just arrived off the Front Range Sub with a bit of a rainbow lineup on the head end, including a Warbonnet and a CSX ES44AC. The train has come to a stop at the south end of Rennicks Yard near Prospect Junction.
