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.

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.

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.
