Despite slippery rails (thanks to the late summer rain shower), it didn't take long for the train to reach track speed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

After reassembling their train on the main track, the local pulled into the clear to wait for the train to pass. After it cleared MP 16, the local got a warrant and backed out onto the main and proceeded into town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Several cars did not need to go down the Lafayette branch, so the local got permission from the dispatcher to leave the cars sitting out on the main track. Fortunately, the dispatcher didn't have anything coming out of town immediately, so this did not cause any bottlenecks. Here, the train has dropped off its caboose on the Lafayette branch and is picking up its train on the main. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF 1020 was the third of three units on the HDENLAU. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is because the tracks used to be two different (main)lines, owned by different railroads. Here, the QDENTAC is on the siding, which is several feet higher than the HLAUDEN on the main.

The crews of both trains talked to each other to time the meet as well as they could. The QDENTAC is 6,700 feet long and the HLAUDEN is 7,700 feet long. This means car traffic at Nickel Street is going to be blocked for awhile! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.
