These four units are fine examples of the two railroads that made up BNSF. Two (BN)SF GP60M's in warbonnet and two BN(SF) SD40-2's in green and white move toward "the house" at 38th Street.

A very rare consist on the point of the HDENLAU as it prepares to depart BNSF's 31st street yard. FURX 7223, BNSF 7834 and MRL 392 lead the train as it approaches the wye track that will lead it around toward Rennicks.

Where's the rest of the water when you need it!? Here, the "class unit" for the GP60M's (BNSF 100, ex-ATSF 100) heads down one of the tracks that leads to "the house". There, the unit will be serviced and prepped for its next assignment.

It can be very difficult to shoot northbound on the Front Range Sub, particularly between the months of September and March. Regardless, here FURX 7223 (ex-BNSF) leads the HDENLAU north at MP 12. Note the third unit, a Montana Rail Link F45XR #392!

With a long and heavy train, three classic EMDs (two SD40-2's and an F45XR) work hard to pull and long and heavy HDENLAU north toward Louisville.

Descending down from Burke Hill, the HDENLAU is less than two miles away from the Valmont Power Plant in Boulder. Note that the third unit in the lineup is MRL F45XR #392!

FURX 7223 leads the HDENLAU north through Longmont. And in the case, the term "through" is not exaggerating at all! BNSF's Front Range Sub runs right up the middle of Atwood Street in Longmont - houses on either side of the street. The train creeps up the street at a speed of no more that 10 to 12 MPH!
