In the next four to eight years, this scene is supposed to be quite different as RTD Light Rail (or Commuter Rail) should be visible at this location.

The Valmont coal train is going to be dropping off its cars at the power plant and siding in Boulder. As a result, the Tacoma-Denver freight will be stopped at 63rd Street for about two hours to wait for the work to be completed.

New Years Eve and New Years Day slowed all trains down a bit! The QTACDEN always runs with auto racks up front and double stack in the back. Of course a big, large cloud set over the area about 20 seconds before I snapped this shot! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

After waiting a few hours for the Valmont empty to clear, the Denver to Laurel finally has a warrant to proceed north toward Longmont. Cars are pacing the train on the Diagonal here has three engines work to take the train north in the setting sun. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The sun is almost directly behind this Valmont empty as it makes its way north past 63rd Street along the Diagonal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Fortunately, the southbound ahead of this train will roll up its warrant to MP 17, allowing this manifest to continue without stopping through Boulder.

Even though the Longmont Turn is clearly climbing a hill here, overall the tracks are going down an ruling 1.54% grade the rest of the way into Longmont.

In this telephoto shot, you can see the Longmont Turn coming down a slight hill just north of Boulder. Foothills Parkway is the overpass just visible in the background.

Photo ID: 101690 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, November 14, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 32.5 Boulder, CO 1664 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF It seems like more often then not, the Laurel to Denver (HLAUDEN) runs with two C44-9W's on the point and one DPU'd on the back. It's nice when "the norm" is broken every once in awhile...true, they are still all C44-9W's, but at least all three are on the point!

The train is relatively short today, with only 39 cars. This curve is at the south end of the Diagonal, where CO-119 and Foothills Parkway merge. I particularly like the trees along the tracks to the right. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

True, it is completely irrelevant as far as the operation of the train goes, but I'd prefer to see a cab and not the tail end of a unit as the train is leaving me! Regardless, a single C44-9W helps push on the back of the HLAUDEN as it approaches Boulder with the Flatirons in the background.
