It was a really great day to get some shots of classic EMD power around BNSF's Denver Yard. Here, a former GP30 (rebuilt as a GP39-2, internally) and a former ATSF SD45-2 serve as switching power! The SD45-2 is now designated as an SD40-2R, the 20-cylinder prime mover long since removed and replaced with a 16-cylinder. I am still designating it as an SD45-2 on the website, just for searchability purposes!
