A freshly painted rebuild GP40 (now a GP40-2R) is the sole power on the Longmont Switch. This unit was built many years ago as CB&Q 177! And a word of warning to the pickup...watch you don't swerve off the road! BNSF's Front Range Sub runs right up the middle of Mason Street in downtown Fort Collins.

Mason Street in Fort Collins is true street running. It can be difficult to shoot northbounds though and they are moving with the sun almost always behind them! Such is the case here as the Longmont Switch (running with a single rebuilt GP40) proceeds cautiously near the north end of Mason Street. Cars continue to drive along either side of the train.
