At CO, they started off as 24F and some persisted in that domestic configuration until 2006-2007, when CO converted the entire fleet to the BF config to support EWR international expansion.
My father flew for CO and UA and spent many years on the 757-767 fleet. He enjoyed going to the smaller cities that this aircraft opeend markets to, such as MAN, EDI, GLA, etc. He occationally made it as far as OSL or CPH, but that might have been a 767-200. He enjoyed visiting the variety of cities that he lost access to when went to the 777-200.
757/767 flying out of EWR remains some of the best variety in the system.
