Something is a comin' from the south! A BNSF coal empty being rerouted from the Brush Subdivision creeps into Boulder at 10 MPH. The train had three units (2x1), but even so, I think it was quite a pull coming up into Boulder.

Front Range (BNSF) Loram
In between switches on the main in Boulder, this Loram rail grinder is making its way north. The worker at the end of the train watches for any fires that might accidentally be started as a result of grinding and extinguishes them with one of the water canons on board. The cars on the siding have no power and will be picked up later in the day by the southbound HLAUDEN.

On my way into work, I was surprised to find this Laurel to Denver manifest tied down in the siding at Boulder. Typically, the train is too long to fit at Boulder. First up was a BNSF C44-9CW, then an Oakway SD60, and finally a Ferromex ES44DC.

This SD75M, still painted up in Warbonnet, was definitely worth a roster shot! The unit was second of two units powering the Cheyenne Local. This unit is still in excellent condition!

The Cheyenne Local, which runs between Cheyenne, WY and Denver, CO on the Front Range Sub, was tied down in the siding at Boulder on March 10. It was a cold and snowy day in Colorado. The lead unit was a patch Santa Fe SD40-2 and the second unit was a very nice SD75M painted in Warbonnet!

The Cheyenne Local makes its way north through Boulder, a former Santa Fe B40-8W on the point. The Flat Irons can be clearly seen in the background, as the train approaches the Foothills Parkway underpass.

BNSF 6948 heads up a single car Boeing train north on the Front Range Sub. This sole SD40-2 took the car all the way from Denver to Cheyenne. Must have been (relatively) easy on the crew!

Although the lighting is not perfect because the sun is on the opposite side of the train, I like the shot of an empty BNSF ballast train sitting in the siding at Boulder right at MP 27.

An empty BNSF rail train waits on the siding in Boulder for the northbound MDENLAU. The train was being led by two elephant-style UP C44AC-CTE's (Tier 1 compliant), complete with flags and wings!

Front Range (BNSF) Canadian National
The Valmont Coal train is stopped in Boulder on the Front Range Sub while the conductor walks the train. The coal is provided to the Valmont power plant in Boulder by Union Pacific. However, BNSF provides the crew (and power) to get the train to Boulder from Denver. On this day, the power was CN 2680 and NS 9320, both C44-9CW's. Both are rare visitors to Colorado!

A re-routed BNSF V-PTLDEN sits on the mainline just north of 63rd Avenue along the Diagonal near Boulder, CO. The train has a track warrant to MP 32, but is waiting near MP 33.5 due to a train working in Boulder.
