Heavy rains in the Denver area in the last two days have resulted in quite a few pools of water forming, particularly around the tracks. Here, the MLMDVX (Limon to Denver extra) has just passed Quebec street on the Limon Sub heading west toward Denver. 36th street would have the train hold at Steele Street until a place could be cleared for the train.

This was the location where, on August 2, 1985, two Burlington Northern freights collided head on. Extra 6311 west (north) and Extra 6575 east (south) struck each other directly underneath the US-36 overpass shown in this image. The crewman on Extra 6311 read the incorrect train orders and the train departed Clear Creek before Extra 6575 had arrived. The resulting explosion melted the bridge! Today, the QDENTAC-09 is stopped, waiting for the MLAUDEN to arrive at Broomfield for a meet.

Although somewhat cast in shadow, I enjoy this view of two different trains meeting each other at the siding at Broomfield. The siding and the main follow completely different terrains that differ in altitude by as much as twenty feet as you can see in this picture. The QDENTAC moves north through the siding above while the MLAUDEN moves south on the main below.
