It is 15°F outside but the sun is shining brightly on the stinky slinky as it pulls south on the main at Broomfield. You can just see the end DPU in the distance and you can also see Longs Peak on the right side of the picture, trying to break through some morning fog.

Who will reach the grade crossing first? The double stack is pulling in to the clear on the siding as a southbound molten sulfur train (called the "stinky slinky") starts pulling on the main. Both trains are blowing their horns as they approach Nickel Street.

It would seem that the siding at Broomfield hasn't been used in a day or two! The rail head is completely covered by snow even though there hasn't really been any snow fall in 24 hours.

After meeting the northbound "Stinky Slinky" (sulfur train), the southbound HLAUDEN starts to pull toward the south siding switch of Broomfield. An interesting note...the station sign of "Broomfield" has been removed and smaller signs have been added at either end of the siding that say "NSS Broomfield" and "SSS Broomfield" for "North Siding Switch" and "South Siding Switch", respectively.

After meeting two northbounds, this rather lengthy southbound HLAUDEN works on putting its train back together. The crew had to cut Nickel street so that traffic was not blocked while the train waited for the northbounds.

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!

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!

A pair of Dash-9s, one wearing a very nice H1 scheme, lead up the daily HLAUDEN that runs from Laurel, MT to Denver, CO. In the distance, Longs Peak is sticking up above the surrounding clouds.

Clouds cling to the mountains along the Front Range as BNSF's daily Laurel-Denver manifest means south on the main line at Broomfield. It just met its counterpart (the Denver-Laurel); you can still see the DENLAU on the siding in the distance.

You just can't beat a clear, sunny day with blue skies right after a major snow storm! Freshly fallen snow (no, I won't break into song) covers the ground as the Denver-Laurel slowly moves through the siding at Broomfield.

Next to Rio Grande's fly letters, I think the Warbonnet scheme is about the best one out there! Here, an SD75M passes the station sign of Broomfield, the third of three units headed for Laurel, MT.

When I first started taking pictures when I was a teenager, it was all black and white (film) to save on money. When digital came out and it was free to take color pictures, it was all color, all the time! Now, a few years later, I like including black and white in the mix again. Here, the Denver-Laurel pulls into the siding at Broomfield, fresh snow on the ground.

BNSF's southbound Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX manifest (HPASSAG) had a C44-9W and a Retro-Belle (KCS) SD70ACe for power. 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.
