A BNSF GP39-2 sits among several other units in Denver. Love seeing a classic blue and yellow painted unit (a so-called "Yellow Bonnet"), particularly when the paint has held up as well as this one has. Railfans that remember railroading in the 1980s might remember a train Santa Fe ran called the "DVLJ". It was an intermodal train that ran out of Big Lift (south of Denver on the Joint Line) to La Junta. GP39-2s were very common on that train...perhaps this geep even led that intermodal train 40 years ago.
