Not very common to see a long silver snake like this on the Front Range Sub! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew on the southbound Pasco to Saginaw manifest stopped here to assist in the reassembling of the coal train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

First off, you can clearly see the unique setup of the Broomfield siding here as the mainline and siding are actually on different grades. Second, look at the explosion of development to the west! 20 years ago, there would have been nothing but empty field out there.

The coal empty would normally run up the Brush Sub in northeast Colorado, but track work caused a reroute up the Front Range Sub.

The siding and the main follow completely different terrains that differ in altitude by as much as twenty feet as you can see in this picture. The QDENTAC moves north through the siding above while the MLAUDEN moves south on the main below. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Built in the 1970's, CSX is one of the only class one railroads to still have active U-Boats on the roster. One of these rare units, CSX B36-7 #5867, made an appearance in Colorado on the MLAUDEN.
