Roughly 110 miles south of Denver, three DPUs bring up the tail end of a southbound loaded grain train. BNSF 5213 is sporting some pretty serious radiator burn, with the paint largely gone on the long hood. The train is headed for Barstow, CA and, once upon a time, probably would have run over Raton Pass. However, no traffic...other than Amtrak's Southwest Chief...has run over Raton Pass in years.

On Sunday, October 15, 2023, the east half of this bridge carrying BNSF's Pikes Peak Sub over I-25 collapsed due to a broken rail. A loaded coal train derailed as a result of the broken rail, striking the bridge support. The highway was closed for four days for cleanup and repairs. BNSF trains ran on UP's mainline further to the east during the closure. Over two years later, a loaded grain train headed for Barstow, CA crosses over the bridge and I-25 on its way south toward Pueblo and points beyond.
