The crew on the HLAUDEN died here at MP 16, tied the train down, and was picked up by a crew van. However, somebody forgot to flip the lights off before leaving!

In the distance, the HLAUDEN had to tie its train down at MP 16 because its crew died! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That warrant spans about 65 miles! Two H2's and a "Catfish" lead the train just north (geographically west) of Broomfield.

And not just in the gondolas either. Now, I have nothing against BNSF...I have always appreciated that they try to match the colors of the unit they are patching when they apply a patch. But lately, they have been "scratching off" the BN herald from the nose of the SD70MACs. The nose of the unit looks was to plain now.

The HLAUDEN is about to leave the siding (to the right). The Longmont Turn is following the train into the siding with a Box 3 on its warrant. Meanwhile, the HDENLAU holds the main, waiting for the Longmont Turn to clear to it can continue north. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The dispatcher has informed the crew that they have a bit of wait, so the conductor has "gone for beans", meaning he will pick up a bit of lunch in town.

The train will hold the main track at Broomfield to wait for the QDENTAC to take the siding at Broomfield. Note that the second and third units are both in the Warbonnet scheme. The peak in the background is Longs Peak. Also, the buildings in the background are a part of the StorageTek facility. The campus was recently purchased and will be rebuilt in the next three or four years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 101801 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, December 13, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 16 Broomfield, CO 2241 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF Almost every rail line has its share of "normal" trains; trains that are regularly (or semi-regularly) scheduled to run on the line. However, every once in a while, you'll catch a reroute or an unscheduled extra train. Such was the case here with BNSF's V-HYDDEN3-09A. This was a Vehicle Train running from Hauser Yard, ID to Denver, CO. The train - comprised of more double stacks than auto racks - was holding short of MP 16, waiting for instructions from Rennicks Yard on where to go!

The GP60B was the last B-Unit (cabless unit) that, to date, EMD has produced. There are only 23 of these units on BNSF's roster (as of this photo), and how long they will last is anyone's guess!

This area has been growing and growing...the Dillard's in the distance is one of the anchor stores on the (relatively new) Flatirons Crossing Mall. The the right of the picture is a brand new "ant hill", just waiting for new residents. Meanwhile, the HDENLAU-27 starts its climb up the hill toward Louisville and points north.
