The crew on the train have received a "Box 13" on their track warrant, indicating that they can leave the north switch of the siding in the reverse position. The next train will receive a "Box 12", instructing them to realign the switch for the main track. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 103138 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, August 30, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 15 Broomfield, CO 2135 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF I always enjoy shooing meets between trains at Broomfield because the siding and the main are on completely different alignments throughout most of the siding. This is because the tracks used to be two different (main)lines, owned by different railroads. Here, the QDENTAC is on the siding, which is several feet higher than the HLAUDEN on the main.

The crews of both trains talked to each other to time the meet as well as they could. The QDENTAC is 6,700 feet long and the HLAUDEN is 7,700 feet long. This means car traffic at Nickel Street is going to be blocked for awhile! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is empty, headed for Bonneville, WY. Considering the high (backlit) summer sun, black and white seemed like a good choice for this shot!

An interesting note...the station sign of "Broomfield" has been removed and smaller signs have been added at either end of the siding that say "NSS Broomfield" and "SSS Broomfield" for "North Siding Switch" and "South Siding Switch", respectively.

At this time of year, the train was running directly into the sun! When you combine that along with the fact that the sun was nearly directly above the train, there wasn't really a sunny side of the train...

There was a little bit of sunshine, a bit of wind, overcast skies, lightning, thunder...and a LOT of rain. BNSF's Denver, CO to Laurel, MT manifest pulls down the main at Broomfield where it will wait to meet its southbound counterpart. Dark lightning clouds hover ominously to the east.
