A slightly different perspective of a southbound manifest approaching the north siding switch of Broomfield. At this time of year, the train was running directly into the sun! When you combine that along with the fact that the sun was nearly directly above the train, there wasn't really a sunny side of the train...

The weather was all over the place on this Spring day! There was a little bit of sunshine, a bit of wind, overcast skies, lightning, thunder...and a LOT of rain. BNSF's Denver, CO to Laurel, MT manifest pulls down the main at Broomfield where it will wait to meet its southbound counterpart. Dark lightning clouds hover ominously to the east.

The ES44C4 (shown here) is something of joint venture between BNSF and GE. 25 units have been delivered to BNSF. They are A1A-A1A units, meaning the center axle on either truck is a dummy axle; it does not have a traction motor. The theory is that 4 AC traction motors provide roughly the same tractive effort (at track speed) as 6 DC traction motors. If the units pan out, BNSF plans to run them on intermodal trains on the Transcon to save on traction motor costs.

With the rather dull lighting of the day, black and white seemed appropriate for this shot. But it also seemed a shame to lose the bright orange of the GP60M. So I decided to compromise! A line of cars headed south on US-287 wait at a red traffic signal while the Longmont Switch slowly makes its way through the "intersection".
