Once it all fell under one railroad (and more and more streets starting popping up in Broomfield), the alignment of the siding became a bit less straight! Here, the northbound HDENLAU is headed north toward Nickel Street while the southbound HPASSAG holds on the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Northbound coal loads head toward the Valmont power plant in Boulder and are pretty common. Coal empties however only come to the Front Range Sub when they are headed for the Powder River Basin and have been re-routed. Such was the case on this day as this PRB coal empty heads north through the siding at Broomfield after a meet. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is meeting a rare re-routed Powder River coal empty headed north due to track work on the Angora Subdivision northeast of Denver.

And not just in the gondolas either. Now, I have nothing against BNSF...I have always appreciated that they try to match the colors of the unit they are patching when they apply a patch. But lately, they have been "scratching off" the BN herald from the nose of the SD70MACs. The nose of the unit looks was to plain now.

The HLAUDEN is about to leave the siding (to the right). The Longmont Turn is following the train into the siding with a Box 3 on its warrant. Meanwhile, the HDENLAU holds the main, waiting for the Longmont Turn to clear to it can continue north. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The dispatcher has informed the crew that they have a bit of wait, so the conductor has "gone for beans", meaning he will pick up a bit of lunch in town.
