Golden BNSF Yard Before heading home I make a stop at the BNSF Yard that is near the museum across from Coor's on what is called Depot Street off of 10th Street. I need to learn more about this area of Golden and it's RR history...

Stourbridge Lion: You just had to post more pictures of BNSF engines.
How did you know that I have been thinking of a way to incorporate some BNSF or BN units into my model train world?
Now I have to think more about it.

Lot's of BNSF and UP in my little corner of the world. Maybe this will help motivate you deeper...
