On this particular trip, only the rails on curves were being ground. The grinder was skipping right over the straight stretches.

The worker at the end of the train watches for any fires that might accidentally be started as a result of grinding and extinguishes them with one of the water canons on board. The cars on the siding have no power and will be picked up later in the day by the southbound HLAUDEN. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And I don't know that I've every (personally) seen two B40-8W's working together on the Front Range Sub before. There are only 81 such units on BNSF's roster (at the time of the photo) and these two looked good together. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

UP hauls the coal from the mines in the Colorado high country down to Denver, where the train is turned over to BNSF. BNSF takes the train to Boulder via the Front Range Sub and delivers the loaded hoppers to the power plant. On this particular afternoon, two B40-8W's switch some cars around at the plant.

Typically, the train is too long to fit at Boulder. First up was a BNSF C44-9CW, then an Oakway SD60, and finally a Ferromex ES44DC.

It was a cold and snowy day in Colorado. The lead unit was a patch Santa Fe SD40-2 and the second unit was a very nice SD75M painted in Warbonnet!

The military train was carrying support vehicles (trucks and hummers). With the two green and white SD40-2's for power, this looks like it could have been taken 10 or even 20 years ago!

In fact, the power was extremely unique, with a BNSF warbonnet leading, followed by brand new KCS SD70ACe (#4009) and the BNSF 7920. The train is on the approach to Boulder here, about a half mile north of the Foothills Parkway overpass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
