The HLAUDEN was extremely long on this day, coming in at 6,900 feet. That's longer than most coal trains on the Moffat! Longs Peak stands directly above the HLAUDEN.

With the switch at the south end of Broomfield restored to normal position, the train is picking up speed now as it heads towards town.

Milepost 16 on the Front Range Subdivision is about a half mile north of Broomfield, and right at Brainard Drive. The HLAUDEN-25 is stopped short of the grade crossing until they can get a warrant down in between switches at Broomfield. Longs Peak stands tall in the morning light in the background (to the right). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) manifest is holding the main rather than the siding because there is another southbound coming out of Boulder, so there will be a three-way meet at Broomfield and the HDENLAU will hold the siding for both southbounds.

You just know that people moving into this new development will be complaining about those darn trains soon. I think I'm going to become a NATROW - Not Along The Right Of Way. 30 months ago, there wasn't a sign of development here and it was a GREAT S-Curve to shoot. Oh well, progress.....
