The second unit is BNSF 638, a former ATSF Warbonnet and one of the few such Warbonnets that was repainted in the Heritage 2 scheme!

Photo ID: 101520 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, August 16, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broomfield Broomfield, CO 1660 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF At Broomfield, a southbound Pasco to Saginaw manifest enters the siding at Broomfield while a rerouted coal empty sits on the main, patiently waiting. The coal empty would normally run up the Brush Sub in northeast Colorado, but track work caused a reroute up the Front Range Sub.

Photo ID: 101521 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, August 16, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broomfield Broomfield, CO 1787 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF A couple of things to note in this shot. First off, you can clearly see the unique setup of the Broomfield siding here as the mainline and siding are actually on different grades. Second, look at the explosion of development to the west! 20 years ago, there would have been nothing but empty field out there.

The crew on the southbound Pasco to Saginaw manifest stopped here to assist in the reassembling of the coal train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Not very common to see a long silver snake like this on the Front Range Sub! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train encountered a bit of a delay at Broomfield. First, the train had to cut the Nickel Street crossing, then it had to wait for two southbounds, then it had to put its train back together, and finally, it had to contact mechanical to solve an alarm issue on its DPU!

You just know that people moving into this new development will be complaining about those darn trains soon. I think I'm going to become a NATROW - Not Along The Right Of Way. 30 months ago, there wasn't a sign of development here and it was a GREAT S-Curve to shoot. Oh well, progress.....

A BNSF coal empty being rerouted from the Brush Subdivision creeps into Boulder at 10 MPH. The train had three units (2x1), but even so, I think it was quite a pull coming up into Boulder.

Photo ID: 101527 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, August 16, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Boulder Boulder, CO 1827 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF An ES44AC leads a coal empty north through Boulder on the mainline. Not too often on the Front Range Sub that you can get a shot of two coal trains meeting each other! Now granted, the train on the siding to the right has no power as the hoppers are loaded and waiting to head to Valmont. Close enough to a meet though.
