BNSF's Longmont Switch typically runs on the Lafayette spur at night. But on this Tuesday, the local ran up the line in the day. Here, the train is heading back down the spur toward Broomfield.

A great way to finish off the day was with this Denver, CO to Laurel, MT freight (HDENLAU) at Broomfield. I shot the train a few hours earlier preparing its train for departure from the yard. Here, the train has a track warrant all the way to Longs Peak, so it won't be making a stop anytime soon!

Construction is continuing like there is no tomorrow along the tracks just north (geographically west) of the siding of Broomfield. The southbound HLAUDEN (Laurel, MT to Denver, CO) has a colorful consist! It'll enter the siding at Broomfield to meet a loaded Valmont train.

Spreading a little Christmas Cheer! BNSF 4904 gives off a little whistle for some ice skaters enjoying the eve of Christmas Eve in Louisville.

The scotchlite on the Dash-9s shows up really well in the last few minutes of the setting sun! BNSF has a lot of paint schemes these days, and it's almost nice to see a set of three units wearing one scheme!

With a track warrant all the way from south siding switch of Broomfield to MP 72 in Fort Collins, the Denver-Laurel freight heads west into the setting sun at Burns Junction. The caboose (now referred to as a "shoving platform") sits on the Lafayette Industrial Lead.

On a day that was almost entirely overcast, the sun breaks through near the end of the day as the Denver to Laurel manifest comes around on the main track at Broomfield.

A scorched BNSF C44-9W and a UP C44-9W team up - elephant style - to lead the Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX freight (HPASSAG) south well after sunset. The train is approaching the 92nd Avenue underpass.

Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this shot! It was a high ISO (800) and hence a bit grainy. I actually really like the way it turned out in black and white. The train approaching is the HPASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) about a mile and a half north of the Westminster Mall.

Man, this train is so close to having three Warbonnets on the point, and yet so far away! The daily Denver to Laurel manifest has a C40-8W on the point followed by a pair of SD75Ms. Not long ago, both of those SD75Ms were wearing a Warbonnet scheme. The DENLAU just met the PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) at Broomfield and is now proceeding north at dusk.

Had this Valmont coal train been headed south, the lighting would have been far better! Here is a look at the two Warbonnets leading up the northbound coal load, currently stopped to wait for a southbound currently in Boulder.

Temperatures on this day had warmed up to close to 30 degrees...a downright heat wave from the 5 degree high the day before! The crew on this stopped Valmont coal load seem to be taking advantage of the "nice" weather by opening the nose door on the lead unit.

A Valmont coal load hold near MP 12 (and Church Ranch Lake) on the Front Range Sub. The train will be meeting a southbound at Broomfield and the crew is holding here so as not to block Nickel Street.

Talk about something you don't everyday! DC power running on a coal load...not only DC power, but some very nicely painted DC power at that. The coal load is headed for the Valmont power plant in Boulder.

They say you shouldn't mess with perfection and many railfans out there think BNSF got it right the first time! The first official paint scheme for BNSF after the 1995 merger was the Heritage scheme (now called the Heritage 1, or H1 scheme). You know, in a lot of ways, I think these railfans might just know what they are talking about!
