The switch at the sound end of Broomfield must be aligned for the siding, so the conductor will have to get out. The DENTAC usually consists entirely of COFC (Containers on Flat Car), but on this day, a few cars carrying concrete ties were found on the front of the train.

However, every once in a while, you'll catch a reroute or an unscheduled extra train. Such was the case here with BNSF's V-HYDDEN3-09A. This was a Vehicle Train running from Hauser Yard, ID to Denver, CO. The train - comprised of more double stacks than auto racks - was holding short of MP 16, waiting for instructions from Rennicks Yard on where to go!
