The railroad can't be too happy about either though as neither train makes the railroad any money! The empty train is on the main at Broomfield while the loaded train is on the siding.

Meanwhile, an empty southbound tie train meets a northbound manifest (which just happens to have some loaded ties) at Broomfield.

Clouds obscure the mountains as an empty tie train slowly approaches (at 10 MPH) the north siding switch of Broomfield. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.....

The train encountered a bit of a delay at Broomfield. First, the train had to cut the Nickel Street crossing, then it had to wait for two southbounds, then it had to put its train back together, and finally, it had to contact mechanical to solve an alarm issue on its DPU!

First off, you can clearly see the unique setup of the Broomfield siding here as the mainline and siding are actually on different grades. Second, look at the explosion of development to the west! 20 years ago, there would have been nothing but empty field out there.

The coal empty would normally run up the Brush Sub in northeast Colorado, but track work caused a reroute up the Front Range Sub.

The siding and the main follow completely different terrains that differ in altitude by as much as twenty feet as you can see in this picture. The QDENTAC moves north through the siding above while the MLAUDEN moves south on the main below. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
