The Brush Sub dispatcher has done a great job keeping this Q-Train running on clear signals ever since leaving New Hillrose, north of Brush. Here, the three GE units on the head end knock down the signal at West Tonville. The west switch is located nearly a small pond that helps to offer a nice foreground.

The westbound Hudson Turn heads for the siding at Irondale. There, it may or may not need to clear the siding (there are multiple tracks off the siding long enough to facilitate the local), depending on whether or not the Zephyr has departed Denver and needs to meet the Z-Train.

Just another GEVO? Look a little closer! The radiator housing has a higher slope and the compartment that houses the prime mover is a bit higher. This is a General Electric prototype for an engine that complies with the EPA's Tier 4 emissions requirements. The unit (GECX 2022), along with the GE dynamometer test car (#100), are on the way to the Transportation Technology Center east of Pueblo.

BNSF Galesburg-Denver mixed freight charges west past the small lake near the east switch of Tonville. At this time of year (and day), the train is heading almost directly in to the sun...makes it hard to get well-lit shots of the side of the train!

It is 6:30pm and the sun is getting very close to the mountains as this westbound coal load continues on its journey just west of Tonville. It is really nice when the DPUs on the tail end of the train are facing the "right way".

At the west switch of Tonville, this coal load is makes its way west in the rapidly fading sunlight. At Barr (the next siding to the west), the train will head in to the hole to wait for a Z-train to pass it and Amtrak to meet it. Busy night for the dispatcher on the Brush Sub.

There is a nice lake, which is somewhat difficult to shoot, at the west switch of Tonville on the Brush sub. An Edgemont to Denver manifest heads for the signal alongside the lake.

A pair of C44-9Ws lead up a nine-hour-late California Zephyr about 30 miles northeast of Denver along I-76. The train is running on clear signals on the approach to Tonville.

BNSF's Denver, CO to Edgemont, SD manifest is pulling into siding at Tonville. Here, the train will wait for about 45 minutes for a very late westbound California Zephyr.

A telephoto look at a meet between a coal load and empty at the siding of Tonville. The empty on the siding just got a clear signal to head east and is starting to pull again.

At Tonville, at eastbound coal empty takes the siding to meet a westbound coal load passing underneath me on the main. It was a well-timed meet and the empty only had to come to a stop briefly.

The Hudson Turn has just knocked down the clear signal at the west switch of Tonville. In the distance, a mere 7,100 feet away, you can see the green signal at the east end of Tonville. The local will have clear signals all the way to Hudson.

Looking down from the 168th Avenue overpass, the Hudson Turn has a clear signal on the approach to Tonville. The turn will switch out some tank cars at Hudson before returning back to town.

The HKCKPAS has a clear signal at the east end of Tonville to continue its trek east. The train was rerouted due to flooding in the mid-west. The reroute definitely added some time as the train comes west into south Colorado from Kansas, north to Denver, east toward Fort Morgan, north into Nebraska, then west into Wyoming!

Three Boeing 737-800 fuselages lead at the front of a very long HKCKPAS (Kansas City to Pasco, WA manifest). The large cars ahead of and behind the fuselages carry additional parts for assembly to be completed in Washington.
