Photo ID: 105007 Date Shot Photo By Monday, February 2, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broomfield (8,976ft) Broomfield, CO 1974 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF A pair of four-axle units, sporting the two most recent BNSF paint schemes, heads north on the main at Broomfield. The train is approaching the 120th Avenue grade crossing. Perhaps "train" is a little generous here, as the crew is running the light power to the north end of Broomfield. Once there, they will back in to the siding to hook on to their train and head north to Longmont. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew got a track warrant to come out on the main and run around the cars to hook on the north end in order to head back to Longmont. Here, the train heads north on the main with a GP39-2R and a B40-8W. This location is supposed to change a lot in the next few years as the city of Broomfield has plans to connection 120th Avenue underneath the tracks. Meaning this shot will eventually include a bridge for the tracks (with 120th Avenue running underneath). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Frequently when old power is retired by a Class 1, it either winds up on a smaller railroad, or it is picked up by a leasing company. Such is the case here. This SD60 was picked up by National Railway Equipment Leasing and is currently putting in hours on BNSF. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
