Photo ID: 111903 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 9, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Wesminster Westminster, CO 55 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF The Front Range Sub is still run by track warrants in 2025 (meaning there are no signals), but BNSF has added PTC. This means track warrants are issued and acknowledged via computer. Consequently, there is very minimal radio traffic on the Front Range Sub. This northbound will not be meeting anything at Broomfield, which means it'll be another 40 miles before it might meet another train (at Longs Peak).

Photo ID: 108346 Date Shot Photo By Friday, July 10, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed South of 80th Avenue Westminster, CO 899 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF It is not too terribly common to find a single unit leading any train. However, that was exactly the case today as an ES44AC leads a long baretable train down the Front Range Sub toward Denver. The train just got permission from the yard to continue past 80th Avenue, a common holding place if the yard cannot take trains. Interestingly, I happened to get a shot of this exact unit less than three weeks earlier, leading the Provo-Denver over the Moffat!
