An unexpected snow storm passed through the area the day before, leaving a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground. A single C44-9W brings up the tail end of this southbound blade train, just south of Longs Peak.

A southbound blade trade crosses over Upper Highland Ditch at the south end of Highland, right at milepost 49. For those that are fans of the Moffat, this location on the Front Range Sub is about the same distance from Denver as the east switch of East Portal. This spot on the Front Range Sub is just north of Longmont.

Just south of the siding of Longs Peak, a southbound blade train crosses over N 115th Street and runs by the north switch of the short siding of Highland. The siding is less than 2,000 feet long, and is only used for local switching, not for meets.

The Front Range Explorer rolls past a BNSF local sitting in the (short) siding of Highland not too far north of Longmont, The train is slowing because it is approaching the siding of Longs Peak. There, it will hold the main and meet a pair of southbound manifests.
