Internally, the unit is just an EMD SD60. However, there are no external walkways. You can walk alongside the prime mover inside the shell of the unit to get to the next unit. Canadian National has 86 such units on their roster. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I'm not sure why the unit was there as power for the Buck Local typically comes from Longmont. In the distance, you can see the HPASSAG siting on the mainline waiting for a northbound.

The southbound is long enough that the crew has had to cut the grade crossing at Nickel Street. Note the standard cab CSX C40-8 in the lineup!

I don't know if I just pay more attention when they face this way (since it is very annoying), but I guess you have to make the most outta what you get!

One such reroute - headed for the Coal Creek Mine in Wyoming - passes by the station sign at Broomfield on the main track.

It is all because of Nickel Street, which connects two parts of Broomfield together. Here, a Brownville, TX to Laurel, MT manifest has the crossing cut on the main track on the left and the Tacoma, WA to Denver, CO Q-train has the crossing cut on the siding.
