Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF's Golden Swoosh on the Joint Line

This morning BNSF's ES44DC with yellow lettering, commonly referred to as the "Golden Swoosh" led a Doublestack train of empty containers (symbol B DENLAC4 13) South out of Denver down the Joint Line this morning. I was wishing that it would have departed earlier as the Sun angle was getting pretty high but always nice to get a one-of-a-kind:}

1) AT Acequia on Main #1.

2) North of Sedalia.

3) AT Orsa the Sun was pretty bad but at least the nose was lit up.

Nice shots and good catch!

This really show the imbalance of freight movement in the Denver area--has been like this for years--loads from east empties to west coast for return loads to eastern points--not much outbound freight from the area

I like your scenery around the swoosh much better. Note the beautiful rusting stick rail. Mandan, ND October 2016

You're the best at getting the infrequent, good show!!

Nice angle in #2--and the gold certainly does give the unit a better look.
