After dumping quarter-mile strips of ribbon rail in the Longmont to Loveland area, this rail train is now empty and heading back to Denver. Once arriving in Denver, the train will tie down on a Rennicks yard track and wait for a new crew.

While the power on the HLAUDEN is pretty typical, the dynamic clouds make the day anything but typical! Longs Peak scrapes the base of the clouds as the train approaches the north switch of Broomfield.

This BNSF Officers Special departed Topeka, KS on May 2, ran to Denver, up the Brush Sub and around through Wyoming up to Laurel, MT. And now down again on the Front Range Sub, through Denver, down the Joint Line and back out to Topeka. A quick 4-day run around the block!

An interesting weather morning on the Front Range Sub on this day. A snow/sleet/rain mix gave way to sunny skies over a short period of time. Minute ago, this northbound PRB coal train reroute was rolling through blowing snow. In the distance on the left, note the caboose and the half dozen cars lined up at Burns Junction, read to go to their industries in Lafayette.

BNSF has sped its patching campaign lately. The green and cream SD70MAC's have been losing their "BN" or old "BNSF" heralds from their nose at a record pace. Case-in-point is SD70MAC #9584. The rather dirty unit has a very clean nose as the old herald had been removed.

The newest and the oldest in BNSF paint schemes lead the HLAUDEN near Broomfield. An ES44AC in the New Image and an SD40-2 in H1 sit tied down on the main track north of Broomfield.

Don't worry, this shot isn't quite as dramatic as it might appear at first glance! The crew on the HLAUDEN died here at MP 16, tied the train down, and was picked up by a crew van. However, somebody forgot to flip the lights off before leaving!

On rather "blah" weather day, the southbound HLAUDEN is on the approach to the north siding switch Broomfield. The train will hold the main track at Broomfield to wait for the QDENTAC to take the siding at Broomfield. Note that the second and third units are both in the Warbonnet scheme. The peak in the background is Longs Peak. Also, the buildings in the background are a part of the StorageTek facility. The campus was recently purchased and will be rebuilt in the next three or four years.

Almost every rail line has its share of "normal" trains; trains that are regularly (or semi-regularly) scheduled to run on the line. However, every once in a while, you'll catch a reroute or an unscheduled extra train. Such was the case here with BNSF's V-HYDDEN3-09A. This was a Vehicle Train running from Hauser Yard, ID to Denver, CO. The train - comprised of more double stacks than auto racks - was holding short of MP 16, waiting for instructions from Rennicks Yard on where to go!

Not too hard to guess where this train is stopped, is it? Milepost 16 on the Front Range Subdivision is about a half mile north of Broomfield, and right at Brainard Drive. The HLAUDEN-25 is stopped short of the grade crossing until they can get a warrant down in between switches at Broomfield. Longs Peak stands tall in the morning light in the background (to the right).

The forecasters were correct regarding the cold front they said would be moving in! Clouds obscure the mountains as an empty tie train slowly approaches (at 10 MPH) the north siding switch of Broomfield.

BNSF 6060 leads a coal empty north on the Front Range Sub just north of the siding of Broomfield. The train encountered a bit of a delay at Broomfield. First, the train had to cut the Nickel Street crossing, then it had to wait for two southbounds, then it had to put its train back together, and finally, it had to contact mechanical to solve an alarm issue on its DPU!
