Here, the train has stopped just short of Nickel Street on the mainline (in Broomfield) to wait for a northbound manifest on its way out of Denver.

I'm not sure why the unit was there as power for the Buck Local typically comes from Longmont. In the distance, you can see the HPASSAG siting on the mainline waiting for a northbound.

Not sure what the point of the special was, but here it is nonetheless! The train is near MP 10, coming around the big fill along Wadsworth Parkway.

The southbound is long enough that the crew has had to cut the grade crossing at Nickel Street. Note the standard cab CSX C40-8 in the lineup!

Photo ID: 102350 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 12 Westminster, CO 2096 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF About a mile and a half south of Broomfield, BNSF's Brownville, TX to Laurel, MT manifest is stopped on the main track and waiting. They are going to meet a southbound at Broomfield which is still nearly two hours away! So, to avoid blocking any crossing, the crew sits and patiently waits. This is a good place to stop as it is close to a new Super Target! Crew can go an get some shopping out of the way while waiting.

I don't know if I just pay more attention when they face this way (since it is very annoying), but I guess you have to make the most outta what you get! Here, two SD70ACes bring up the tail end of a Powder River Basin reroute just north of Broomfield. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Cars that could not be rerailed were pushed to the sides of the track. BNSF then laid "panel" track and got the line reopened. At this point, there is a 25 MPH slow order through the derailment site. The mountain in the distance is Longs Peak. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Both units fell on their sides (the side shown here) when the Longmont Turn derailed three days earlier. In addition to being covered in dirt, it looks like both units have suffered some bent metal and some cracked windows. Seems like both units should return to service though.
