ES44C4 |
Description: |
One of BNSF's new ES44C4 (Evolution Series, 4400 HP, C Trucks, 4 Powered Axles) locomotives was at the roundhouse in Denver. Not a locomotive I would go chasing, like so many would and did, but I figured it was worth a shot since I was there. A lot of brake cylinders on these. |
