3-way meets are not a particularly common thing on BNSF's Front Range Sub. Largely because the line has no signals and trains operate using track warrants. In this shot, the Front Range Explorer holds on the main at Longs Peak. The Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest just started pulling out of the siding south with a new warrant. A second manifest, the Cheyenne, WT to Denver, CO manifest, is slowly following the first manifest through the siding. In track warrant territories, sidings are typically "uncontrolled", meaning multiple trains can move on them, so long as they move slow enough to stop within 1/2 the distance they can see.

The High Iron Travels special excursion train, the Front Range Explorer, brought out a lot of railfans on this particular Friday! Two of them are seen here, getting a low shot as this southbound BNSF manifest rolls across East County Line Road at Longs Peak.

This southbound manifest is pulling into the clear in the siding at Longs Peak. The train is the Cheyenne, WY to Denver, CO local manifest. It is following hot on the heels of the Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest. Those of you familiar with the latest power will recognize the lead unit as a (brand new) ET44AC.
