Amtrak ‘Pepsi Can’ heritage unit leads the California Zephyr down Coal Creek Canyon
On June 22nd, Amtraks relatively new ‘Pepsi Can’ heritage unit was leading the California Zephyr. This was one of the first times this locomotive made it out west and one of the first times this summer I was catching a train. Unfortunately, the lighting died right as the train was descending down Coal Creek Canyon but it still made for a cool sight!

Over the course of the fall of 2021 I made 2 trips out to Colorado for various breaks and decided to hit the Moffat Tunnel Subdivision. We start off on October 12th a little west of Rollinsville. A Union Pacific coal was creeping down the mountain in shot one before meeting the westbound California Zephyr at Pinecliffe. After that a westbound oil train bound for the Utah railway sneaks up on me...
Slow Morning on BNSF's Brush subdivsion
Переглядів 952 роки тому
on December 16th, 2021 I visited BNSF's Brush Subdivision for some action. It started off with a pretty short stack train which ended up waiting at Barr for 30 some minutes because of the Hudson turn. Train 2 was the Hudson turn which I caught at Barr and Toneville meeting another coal. After getting the coal at 168th I waited for another one right behind it to finish off the short morning! Enjoy!

Local trains around Denver, Colorado

On February 12th, 2021 I set out into Denver to catch some local action. I started the day off in Commerce City, an industrial town north of Denver. To my surprise I found 2 BNSF SD40-2s doing some switching of some tank cars. The lead SD40-2 #1993 is a former Colorado and Southern locomotive and #1746 is a former ATSF Bluebonnet locomotive. They made for quite the pair. After that I caught Den...

BNSF 25th Anniversary locomotive 5869 leads on the Front Range Subdivision
Переглядів 1653 роки тому
On July 25th :) 2021, BNSF 5869 led the H-LAUDEN manifest down the front range subdivision. Unfortunately I would be at work when the train would be passing my hometown of Louisville. Then due to some issues with the H-DENLAU the train LAUDEN would be forced to sit in Broomfield for an hour. This gave me enough time to catch both trains which both had incredible lashups. Enjoy

    I have been blessed to be the conductor on this train since 2012. A lot of railroaders don’t like this train and the high profile it brings to the railroad. I for one have enjoyed riding on her she is the pride of the fleet and represents our history. While we weren’t expecting what happened to happen on this day. We had 2 other very close calls. One at Carr and one just north of Platteville. We love seeing all the people that come out to see her go bye. We just ask that you stay well clear of the tracks and enjoy her beauty and power. It’s disappointing that no other business has stepped up to continue this fine tradition since the Denver post was sold.

    Just curious, does anyone know the reason for the view-blocking wall beside the track from 17:34 to 18:14? It appears to be blocking views of a sewage treatment plant and oil refinery, which doesn't seem like something that would have either secrecy or privacy concerns.

    Adding that diesel is a new thing. They didn 't used to do that. IMO it looks way better without. I remember hearing about back 10 - 15 years ago she was heading home and came up behind a stalled out UP freight train that was waiting on another diesel to help tow it in. Well the engineer tells dispatch they will "take it from here" couples to the last car, pours on the steam and pushes that train across the plains into the railryard. Plenty of steam whisting along the way. Until 844 came over the horizon and gave a long blast on her whistle the crew of the freight train thought they were getting "rescued" by just another UP freight train.
