When digital came out and it was free to take color pictures, it was all color, all the time! Now, a few years later, I like including black and white in the mix again. Here, the Denver-Laurel pulls into the siding at Broomfield, fresh snow on the ground. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 102350 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 12 Westminster, CO 2127 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF About a mile and a half south of Broomfield, BNSF's Brownville, TX to Laurel, MT manifest is stopped on the main track and waiting. They are going to meet a southbound at Broomfield which is still nearly two hours away! So, to avoid blocking any crossing, the crew sits and patiently waits. This is a good place to stop as it is close to a new Super Target! Crew can go an get some shopping out of the way while waiting.

Cars that could not be rerailed were pushed to the sides of the track. BNSF then laid "panel" track and got the line reopened. At this point, there is a 25 MPH slow order through the derailment site. The mountain in the distance is Longs Peak. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Both units fell on their sides (the side shown here) when the Longmont Turn derailed three days earlier. In addition to being covered in dirt, it looks like both units have suffered some bent metal and some cracked windows. Seems like both units should return to service though.
