A nice long double stack moves north on the main track in Boulder as (half) a Valmont empty sits in the siding at Boulder. The siding isn't long enough to accommodate the entire train. The remainder of the train is down on the storage track at Stazio. Upon receiving a crew, the train will be put back together and continue to Denver.

A northbound double stack passes north through Boulder at 30 MPH, meeting a Valmont coal train that sits in the siding. The coal train is empty and will be ready to head south toward Denver later in the day. For the time being, it is tied down in the siding with no crew on board.

This shot is somewhat deceiving in that it looks as though it could have been taken in the middle of nowhere. In fact, turning in either direction would reveal office buildings as we are right in the middle of Boulder! This northbound double stack is approaching the south end of the Boulder siding.

After being held briefly for the Longmont Turn to clear up at Valmont, this Seattle-bound double stack is on the move again in Boulder. The train has just crossed over the 55th Street grade crossing. The switch in the foreground is the south end of the Boulder siding.
