Burlington Northern C30-7 #5507 and mates charge Eastbound through Crawford, NE on a loaded coal train in May of 1989.
These trains of all steel Burlington Northern hoppers were a personal favorite of mine.
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.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy EMD E5 No. 9911-A and the Nebraska Zephyr Budd-built streamliner trainset rests in a siding at Burlington, Wisconsin, on the night of September 29, 1993. This classy Zephyr from the Illinois Railway Museum collection made a somewhat uncommon off-site trip for an ARM convention running on the Wisconsin Central main line from Burlington to Neenah and return the next day. While photographing the stainless-steel steed that night, illuminating the locomotive was a bit like trying to light up a mirror with flashbulbs.
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.
Burlington Northern EMD SD40-2 No. 7919, GE B30-7AB No. 4020, and EMD GP9 No. 1729 pull an eastbound manifest through Trail Creek, Montana on May 26, 1986.
Burlington Northern & Santa Fe's Stockton, California to Denver, Colorado manifest freight, with trackage rights on the Union Pacific, rolls east through Midvale, Utah with 25 cars on Nov. 30, 1996.
The train is about 10 miles into a 575 mile journey between Salt Lake City and Denver via the former Denver & Rio Grande Western.
Quaint little enclave near the waterfront with restaurants and shops. It was empty on a foggy chilly Easter weekend but it has a potential to be bustling on a nice day.
Burlington Northern #6913 heads Northbound at Palmer Lake, CO in October of 1989. The consist includes the lead SD40-2, a pair of B30-7AB B-units, a pair of LMX B39-8's (one with the red nose and the other still with the original grey) and another SD40-2.
In the background is 3 foot gauge 2-8-0 #433 that was on display at Palmer Lake for awhile.
It has since been moved to Central City, CO.
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy GP30 977 leads a U25B on an eastbound freight at Hinsdale, Illinois during the Winter of 1969-1970. Photographer Unknown, Joe Lewnard collection.
Class unit of 8 U30C's leads a Wisconsin bound coal train by the yet to be painted telegraph office.
Assigned for service to Glendive, MT as the Road's part of sharing the coal hauling business with the Burlington Northern.

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.
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.
It's an EMD SD40-2...but then, you knew that, didn't you?
