When the paint on a Warbonnet has gotten this bad, the unit is sometimes then referred to as a "Pinkbonnet" due to the faded paint. Still, it's 2018 and it's been 20+ years since there was a freshly painted Warbonnet, so I'll take what I can get. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

As the train approached, several cows that were close to the tracks made a mad dash away and deeper into the field. The train is approaching the Northwest Parkway overpass, from which this picture was taken. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

One way it does this (from time-to-time) is by running an Employee Appreciation Special. A string of BNSF-owned passenger cars were put together and power placed on either end of the train. Two times (at 1pm and 6pm) on June 4th, the train departed Denver and ran north to Boulder on the Front Range Sub. After a brief stop in Boulder, the train returned to Denver. Here, as part of the evening departure, the train approaches the south switch of Broomfield. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The local has completed switching on the Lafayette Branch. The empty centerbeam flats at the back of the train were switched out from Universal Forest Products and Lafayette Lumber Company. Both B40-8Ws were originally delivered to Santa Fe in Warbonnet colors. One was repainted to Heritage 2, the other had a very interesting "BNSF" patch job on the long hood!

Several cars did not need to go down the Lafayette branch, so the local got permission from the dispatcher to leave the cars sitting out on the main track. Fortunately, the dispatcher didn't have anything coming out of town immediately, so this did not cause any bottlenecks. Here, the train has dropped off its caboose on the Lafayette branch and is picking up its train on the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is all because of Nickel Street, which connects two parts of Broomfield together.
