Locomotive Details Location/Date of Photo » Untitled (more..) » Colorado Railcar DMU (more..) » Denver Union Terminal (more..) » Denver, Colorado, USA (more..) » June 10, 2008 Locomotive No./Train ID Photographer » 2001 (more..) » Unknown » Bill V Cronenberg (more..) » Contact Bill V Cronenberg Remarks: I consider myself privileged to have the opportunity to be not only the photographer, but also the designer of these DMUs as well. The newly built Colorado Railcar DMUs were left at Denver's Union Terminal for BNSF to pick up and deliver to TriMET in Portland. The DMUs will be used for TriMET's WES (Westside Express Service), between Wilsonville and Beaverton Ore. WES will be starting their service very soon. I can only hope the passengers using WES will enjoy the DMUs as much as I did designing them.

I'm a big fan of passenger rail as a transport solution and the DMU could well be the answer to the US's much-needed transport problem. This sort of thing is well-and-truly overdue! Posted by Ray Peacock heartlandrails.com on January 26, 2009 Congratulations Bill, thanks for your story. Posted by Matt Farnsworth on January 26, 2009 Despite all the hoopla sounding TriMET and Colorado Railcar, those are some slick looking units. Posted by tsched on January 27, 2009 Nice photo and story. I live in Beaverton, OR and have been watching the test runs of these cars just a few minutes from my house. This coming Friday, WES will be offering free rides on a first-come, first-serve basis. A friend and I plan on riding the first one out from Beaverton down to Wilsonville. And I'll take photos. Thanks Bill. - Post a Comment - (Registration is no longer required to post photo comments.) EXIF Data for this photo: [What's this?] No header data found for this image.
