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.

Photo ID: 103839 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, July 28, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 13 Broomfield, CO 1649 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF Due to floods in the midwest, the Front Range Sub has seen a fair amount of rerouted traffic this summer. Such was the case on this Thursday afternoon as an empty BNSF northbound enters the siding at Broomfield. The train is meeting a southbound...but the train won't fit west of Nickel Street, so the crossing will have to be cut. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Several cars did not need to go down the Lafayette branch, so the local got permission from the dispatcher to leave the cars sitting out on the main track. Fortunately, the dispatcher didn't have anything coming out of town immediately, so this did not cause any bottlenecks. Here, the train has dropped off its caboose on the Lafayette branch and is picking up its train on the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
