Although both units wear the Heritage paint scheme, it is interesting how drastically different the tone of the paint is! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Over a 5 1/2 mile section of track, trains have to blow their horn through 17 grade crossing (including the run down Atwood Street). Here, the train is running parallel to 1st Avenue, about to pass underneath the Terry Street overpass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Two southbounds ahead of it and the crew will hold here until they get a warrant south of Longmont. Note the new ties along the side of the track. Looks like BNSF is planning some maintenance for the summer! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Take a close look at the first axle on this SD40-2. Good to know the derail works just as it should. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

From this view, there is nothing really to indicate that the unit has even been patched! This is one of two units used on the Longmont Turn. The orange box above the plow is a FRED unit used on the local. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Apparently it was actually painted shortly after the BNSF merger. It was at the shops waiting to be painted (with a work order for this scheme) as the merger went through. It was one of two SD40-2's serving as power on the Longmont Turn. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the mainline through Longmont. Trains roll through here very slowly, blocking traffic at nearly 20 crossing as they go through. The Longmont Depot - still used by BNSF - is seen on the right.

I particularly like the unique and distinctive dynamic brake intakes. BNSF 8700 is shown here serving on the Longmont Switch, which runs north out of Longmont to Cheyenne. On this Saturday, the power was tied down (along with B40-8W #506) in Longmont. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The shot is designed to demonstrate the quiet residential street of Atwood being stirred by the freight rolling right down the middle! The car to the left is a Galaxie 500.

Trains here don't go much faster than 15-20 MPH and local residents get a nice wakeup call! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While the tracks don't actually run down the middle of the asphalt, this is definitely some finest street running around. Houses line either side of Atwood Street.
