The train had been waiting here so as not to block any grade crossing until the southbound they were going to meet reached Broomfield. Now that said southbound had reached Broomfield, it is time to go! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, the Napier and Omaha Subdivisions are still out of service, so coal empties will likely continue on the Front Range Sub throughout September. Here, one such reroute is stopped near Church Ranch Lake waiting for a southbound at Broomfield. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 103638 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, December 18, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 10 Westminster, CO 2249 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF When I first went to Helper, UT in 1999, I saw nine Rio Grande SD40T-2's cut into the middle of a coal train as swing helpers for the climb up to Soldier Summit. The sound was amazing. It's great to see that 11 years later, the Dash-2 series is still in extremely wide use, even if it technically on a local (the Longmont Turn).

However, I'm not complaining as the sight and sound of four EMD 645 engines running was beautiful! If you'd like to hear, I recorded a brief clip and posted it along with this shot.

After a crew change in Denver, the special will continue south to La Junta. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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. 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.
