The apartment and condo complex in the background is very new. Ten years ago, none of that had been built and that area was occupied by an empty field.

It is waiting for the rail train rolling down the siding to the right. The rail train just released its warrant. This will allow the manifest to copy a new warrant from the dispatcher to proceed from the south siding switch of Broomfield all the way in to town.

Such was the case on this morning. This coal empty is following another northbound and already has a warrant to continue north out of the siding.

This is because, once upon a time, the two lines belonged to separate railroads. In this shot, the train on the right (the "Stinky Slinky") is holding while the train on the left (a coal empty) pulls north through the siding.

The Flat Iron Crossing mall is behind the train to the left and a relatively new condo complex is to the right. However, the Rockies look fantastic on a sunny February morning. Interestingly, you can actually see UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub on the mountains in the distance! Plainview is roughly above the double stacks (with Rainbow Cut above the first car) and tunnels 3 and 4 are above the lead unit.

The double stack is pulling in to the clear on the siding as a southbound molten sulfur train (called the "stinky slinky") starts pulling on the main. Both trains are blowing their horns as they approach Nickel Street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is in fact the Valmont coal train, returning to Denver from Boulder. If nothing changes with Xcel Energy's plans, this train will cease by the end of 2017 as Valmont plans to shut down its coal-fired generator.
