It is a beautiful, 70°F Spring day in Colorado as the Buck Local heads back toward Burns Junction. The Exempla Good Samaritan Medical Center, which opened in December 2004, is behind the train. Longs Peak is towering over them all.

Proof-positive that the Lafayette Branch is not at any risk of getting abandoned anytime in the immediate future! A tamper is working to do whatever it is that tampers do (see the comments with regards to this statement - hopefully you'll get a laugh) just past the highway 287 grade crossing.

The clouds have set in on this Saturday morning as the Valmont coal load passes underneath the Northwest Parkway in Broomfield. The train is climbing is relatively steep grade, working toward Louisville.

With the rather dull lighting of the day, black and white seemed appropriate for this shot. But it also seemed a shame to lose the bright orange of the GP60M. So I decided to compromise! A line of cars headed south on US-287 wait at a red traffic signal while the Longmont Switch slowly makes its way through the "intersection".

BNSF's Longmont Switch typically runs on the Lafayette spur at night. But on this Tuesday, the local ran up the line in the day. Here, the train is heading back down the spur toward Broomfield.

The scotchlite on the Dash-9s shows up really well in the last few minutes of the setting sun! BNSF has a lot of paint schemes these days, and it's almost nice to see a set of three units wearing one scheme!

October is nearing its end, but there are still some fall colors evident on trees in the area. Case in point are the trees near the Front Range Sub around MP 18. This HDENLAU (Denver, CO to Laurel, MT) is climbing Burke Hill, getting ready to pass underneath the Northwest Parkway.
