Union Pacific supplies coal to the Valmont power plant in Boulder. Two UP units remain on the coal train for power, and a BNSF unit (typically an SD70MAC) is added to the point for the trip from Denver to Boulder.

Early on a cold Colorado morning, the daily MDENLAU is approaching the station sign Boulder. The train has some colorful power today, with a warbonnet (BNSF 718), a Heritage-II, an Oakway SD60, and a green BN SD40-2.

The only two regular freights on BNSF's Front Range Sub in the MDENLAU and MLAUDEN. On the first Monday of 2005, however, there was a VPTLDEN that was running south on the Front Range Sub. It was led by BNSF 4999. Here, the train is passed under Foothills Pkwy at MP 32.

On a beautiful Friday afternoon, a southbound BNSF manifest works its way past milepost 25 and the Valmont Power Plant in Boulder. The train is led by a Dash 9-44CW and a former Santa Fe SD45. The SD45 is now listed as NREX 6410, and has quite possibly been rebuilt to SD40-2 specifications.

BNSF's Front Range Sub does not see a ton of through freights, but on this Saturday this westbound is approaching the siding of Boulder after just crossing 55th Avenue in Boulder.
