Just north of Broomfield, a special Amtrak trip to Longmont moves away from the camera. To simplify the move, a P42DC was put on either end of the train. AMTK 169 was the unit on the south end and would lead for the trip back to Denver later in the afternoon.

This Warbonnet has seen better days! When the paint on a Warbonnet has gotten this bad, the unit is sometimes then referred to as a "Pinkbonnet" due to the faded paint. Still, it's 2018 and it's been 20+ years since there was a freshly painted Warbonnet, so I'll take what I can get.

The cows in the meadow alongside the tracks did not appreciate the BNSF Employee Special nearly as much as I did! As the train approached, several cows that were close to the tracks made a mad dash away and deeper into the field. The train is approaching the Northwest Parkway overpass, from which this picture was taken.

North of Broomfield, a BNSF passenger special rolls north past a lonely Cottonwood tree on the north edge of Broomfield. The train, which is an Employee Appreciate train, has power on both ends. When the train arrives in Boulder, it will reverse directions and return to Denver.

BNSF's Buck Local sports some nice power as its proceeds north back toward Longmont. The local has completed switching on the Lafayette Branch. The empty centerbeam flats at the back of the train were switched out from Universal Forest Products and Lafayette Lumber Company. Both B40-8Ws were originally delivered to Santa Fe in Warbonnet colors. One was repainted to Heritage 2, the other had a very interesting "BNSF" patch job on the long hood!

With its train reassembled, the Buck Local departs from Broomfield northbound heading back toward Longmont. Traffic is light on the Front Range Sub on this day. The local has a "Box 4" to work between MP 13 and MP 45. Basically, the train can move in either direction anywhere over that 32 mile stretch of track!
