That unit on the point kind of looks like a CEFX SD90MAC leaser, but in fact it is one of the dirtiest Warbonnet's I have ever seen. BNSF 8230, an SD75M, leads the northbound HDENLAU-24 through Westminster near 80th Avenue on its journey northward.

A very long string of military vehicles ride on the backs of flat cars on their way north. EMD 9082 and BNSF 7031 lead the train, elephant style, north through Westminster.

It can be very difficult to shoot northbound on the Front Range Sub, particularly between the months of September and March. Regardless, here FURX 7223 (ex-BNSF) leads the HDENLAU north at MP 12. Note the third unit, a Montana Rail Link F45XR #392!

This was the location where, on August 2, 1985, two Burlington Northern freights collided head on. Extra 6311 west (north) and Extra 6575 east (south) struck each other directly underneath the US-36 overpass shown in this image. The crewman on Extra 6311 read the incorrect train orders and the train departed Clear Creek before Extra 6575 had arrived. The resulting explosion melted the bridge! Today, the QDENTAC-09 is stopped, waiting for the MLAUDEN to arrive at Broomfield for a meet.

This train is slowly crawling past this lake located near US-36. I tried to cut as much of the development out of the shot as possible. This location is not nearly as rural as it was twenty years ago.

A badly faded B40-8W warbonnet and MRL SD40 lead the northbound QDENTAC-09 through Westminster. The doublestack is about to pass underneath 92nd Avenue. Looks like the crew wanted to get some fresh air in the cab!

The southbound Laurel to Denver train is led by two SD40-2s (a yellow bonnet and a green and white BN) as well as a Heritage 2 B40-8W as the train approaches the grade crossing at 72nd Avenue in Westminster, CO. At this point, the crew on board can see the distance signal just east of Federal Blvd.

With a warrant all the way to Utah Jct, the southbound HLAUDEN1-17 is clipping along pretty well at the fill just east of Wadsworth Blvd in Westminster. BNSF 7610, a brand new GEVO (ES44DC) leads the way.

The QDENTAC1-19 waits on the main track near MP 12. The train will be meeting a southbound at the siding of Broomfield, but will not fit in the siding without blocking a crossing. So, the train is holding short, waiting for the arrival of the southbound. Note the lead unit, BNSF 8292, an SD75I.
