An Operation Lifesaver special heads Southbound on Burlington Northern's Front Range Sub. on May 17th, 1990.
It is seen at the old Marshall Jct, which is North of Broomfield siding and about 20 miles or so North of Denver.
The power consisted of Burlington Northern SD60m #9243, Rio Grande SD50 #5512, Santa Fe "FP45 #5998 in "Super Fleet" Warbonnet paint and Union Pacific SD60m #6138.
The cars were Ski Train equipment with Southern Pacific heavyweight observation car "Oregon" bringing up the rear.
I always thought that Burlington Northern GE's wore the "whiteface" scheme well, as exemplified by C30-7 #5067.
It is leading on a Southbound loaded coal train along with 3 other BN GE's and a lone Santa Fe EMD and were heading through Fountain, CO in September of 1989.
The train is using Santa Fe tracks as part of the South section (Crews to Bragdon) of the Rio Grande-Santa Fe Joint Line.
A pair of nice looking Burlington Northern SDP40's lead a Westbound empty coal train that is waiting for space to clear ahead before it can enter into Edgemont, SD to change crews in May of 1985.
The full consist included SDP40's 6395 and 6394 along with SD40-2 7240, fuel tender FT1 and a pair of SD40-2's, the 7231 and 7214.
Lead engine 6395 started life as Great Northern 321 and later on became Montana Rail Link #290.

A group of Burlington Northern commutes await a call to serve into Chicago, parked in BN's Aurora, Illinois yard.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, 25 Burlington Northern E8As were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. MK upgraded them to E9A standards, and included the installation of EMD 645 power assemblies and head-end power, branding the fleet E9AMs.
These E9AMs were some of the last E-series locomotives in active service in North America. All were retired in 1992.

I only spent one night in Burlington during my Fall Leaf Peeping Vacation in 2019. I'd spent two nights in New Hampshire, and the days were filled with lots of miles, and lots of photography. After a day of attempting (and largely succeeding) in photographing most of the covered bridges along the Ashuelot River, I finally checked into the hotel and retired at about 9pm.
I wanted to photograph the sun rising above Lake Champlain, but would have had to drive around the lake. I almost missed the sunrise altogether, because when I realized I wouldn't have time to get to the "right place" I had a bite to eat at the breakfast bar, which was open at 6am, and as I packed my things in the car, noticed the pinkness was fantastic.
It was only a few blocks to the downtown area, and this is the first photo I took after I parked the car.

A group of 13 Burlington Northern commuter rail trains await a call on the "racetrack" into Chicago, parked in BN's Aurora, Illinois yard.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, 25 Burlington Northern E8As were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. MK upgraded them to E9A standards, and included the installation of EMD 645 power assemblies and head-end power, branding the fleet E9AMs.
These E9AMs were some of the last E-series locomotives in active service in North America. All were retired in 1992.
Yes, there really was a Cascade green Burlington Northern No. 1. Before BN assigned No. 1 to an executive F9 (officially labeled F9-2) locomotive rebuilt in 1990, BN had a former Great Northern NW2 constructed in 1939, and rebuilt into a NW12 in 1975 numbered 1. In September 1984, the spiffy-looking switcher was located at Minneapolis Junction, Minnesota.
A trio of remanufactured Burlington Northern four-axle engines head Northbound on the Front Range Subdivision at Westminster, CO on train #597 in October of 1990.
Lead engine GP39V #2964 was run through the VMV shop at Livingston, MT and was originally Chesapeake & Ohio GP35 #3536.
The two trailing engines were both sent to the Morrison Knudsen plant at Boise, ID and were classified as GP39M's.
Second engine #2875 was originally Great Northern GP35 #3026 and then Burlington Northern #2509.
The third engine was built as Great Northern GP30 #3013 and then to Burlington Northern #2213.

I've always loved the former BN-1 and BN-2 rebuilt F9's and glad they found a home at the Illinois Railway Museum. Although the sun isn't doing the paint on them any favors, the nose emblem still pops!

A mix of Burlington Northern and Union Pacific engines hustle an empty coal train alongside Nebraska Highway 2 as they travel North out of Alliance and head towards Crawford Hill in June of 1993.
The consist included BN C30-7 #5534, UP SD40-2 "snoot" 3454, BN C30-7 5551 and a trio of UP engines with SD40-2 3741, C30-7 2412 and an ex-Missouri Pacific SD40-2 without dynamic brakes, the 4213.
Heavy winds broke up the thinner ice near the mouth of the bay and then shoved it down the canal out into Lake Ontario. _DSF1933
Burlington Northern SDP40 #6399, the only one of this type of engine to receive the "Whiteface" scheme leads on a Westbound "Beer Run" as it approaches the end of the tracks at Golden, CO in February of 1990.
It is passing equipment that was parked on a spur track awaiting movement into the Colorado Railroad Museum.
The Rotary snowplow is Colorado & Southern #99201.
I am not sure of the steam engines heritage or engine number.

This is a close up view of the railroad lift bridge. I needed permission to get access to these views.
On the left is a view of the bridge across the Mississippi at Burlington, IA and if you look at yesterday’s image you can see the barge approaching and the one section of the bridge lifted up.
The right photo shows the lifting gear – the upper portion contains weights and the two front black stripes are chains that shift as it lifts. You can also see it blocks the tracks as well – not sure if it would stop the train with 2 engines and 100 cars.
One day I counted a train about every 17 minutes hauling coal and other items eastward.
