The HLAUDEN heads south on the main (lower track) while the MDENLAU patiently waits on the siding (upper track). The HLAUDEN typically has a single unit DPU's on the rear of the train and today is no exception. A UP SD70ACe makes a rear appearance on the Front Range Sub.

At the north end of the siding of Broomfield, the Valmont coal train pulls as close to the switch as possible in order to clear Nickel Street...which it did by a car length or two. In the distance, the HLAUDEN had to tie its train down at MP 16 because its crew died!

There is a lot of junk to be found in this picture! 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 lighting could have been better for this shot, but the clouds did come out looking extremely dramatic...I really like this shot because it depicts the three-way meet that took place. 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.

The southbound HLAUDEN has cleared up in the siding at Broomfield to wait for its counterpart - the HDENLAU - to come out of town. 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.

A unique power lineup sitting on the siding at Broomfield on BNSF's Front Range Sub. A New Image ES44AC leads up a patched Espee AC4400CW (with a new yellow stripe along the frame) and a UP AC4400CW. The crew is untying the train in preparation of its departure for Denver.

This AC4400CW was originally lettered as TFM. However, since the KCS acquisition, the unit has been re-lettered as "KCS de Mexico". Note the "de Mexico" on the long hood as well as on the KCS herald on the front of the nose.

Something of a rare appearance here in Colorado was made by this CSX SD70ACe. The unit was part of the consist on the HLAUDEN on BNSF's Front Range Sub. The train was stopped and tied down on the siding at Broomfield. This particular unit is headed for home after being tested by Montana Rail Link for several days.

BNSF's HLAUDEN is tied down in the siding at Broomfield with a lot of power on the point. The CSX SD70ACe was being tested by Montana Rail Link earlier in the week. The train is waiting for a relief crew to take the train the rest of the way into Denver.

At the north end of Broomfield, the conductor from the HDENLAU-27 is on the ground to give a roll-by to his trains counterpart, the HLAUDEN-25. The HLAUDEN was extremely long on this day, coming in at 6,900 feet. That's longer than most coal trains on the Moffat! Longs Peak stands directly above the HLAUDEN.

The southbound HPASSAG-24 holds the main track at Broomfield while waiting for the HDENLAU-27 to come out of Denver to meet it. The PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) manifest is holding the main rather than the siding because there is another southbound coming out of Boulder, so there will be a three-way meet at Broomfield and the HDENLAU will hold the siding for both southbounds.

An interesting load of maintenance equipment, led by a single (repainted) SD60M, hold in the siding at Broomfield while waiting for the northbound HDENLAU. This is also my first shot taken during lunch from my new office in Westminster!

A southbound tie train approaches the south end of Broomfield on the main track with two SD75 Warbonnets for power. The lead unit, BNSF 8301, was the last SD75I to be delivered to BNSF. The second unit, BNSF 8202, was the third SD75M to be delivered to Santa Fe.

Empty ties meet loaded ties! The railroad can't be too happy about either though as neither train makes the railroad any money! The empty train is on the main at Broomfield while the loaded train is on the siding.

The sun tries hard to break through the cloud cover along the front range. Meanwhile, an empty southbound tie train meets a northbound manifest (which just happens to have some loaded ties) at Broomfield.
