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.

A rare treat on this Denver to Laurel, MT freight as a Canadian National cowl SD60F joins the lead power. Internally, the unit is just an EMD SD60. However, there are no external walkways. You can walk alongside the prime mover inside the shell of the unit to get to the next unit. Canadian National has 86 such units on their roster.

At Burns Junction (the north end of the Broomfield Siding), sitting on the Lafayette Industrial Lead, was a B40-8 wearing a very nice Heritage I paint scheme. 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.
