The PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) manifest is holding the main rather than the siding because there is another southbound coming out of Boulder, so there will be a three-way meet at Broomfield and the HDENLAU will hold the siding for both southbounds.

The horse pays no attention to the noise of the passing freight. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Milepost 16 on the Front Range Subdivision is about a half mile north of Broomfield, and right at Brainard Drive. The HLAUDEN-25 is stopped short of the grade crossing until they can get a warrant down in between switches at Broomfield. Longs Peak stands tall in the morning light in the background (to the right). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the switch at the south end of Broomfield restored to normal position, the train is picking up speed now as it heads towards town. A gibbous moon looks down on the train as it approaches 112th Avenue. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The HLAUDEN was extremely long on this day, coming in at 6,900 feet. That's longer than most coal trains on the Moffat! Longs Peak stands directly above the HLAUDEN.

This area has been growing and growing...the Dillard's in the distance is one of the anchor stores on the (relatively new) Flatirons Crossing Mall. The the right of the picture is a brand new "ant hill", just waiting for new residents. Meanwhile, the HDENLAU-27 starts its climb up the hill toward Louisville and points north.

The GP60B was the last B-Unit (cabless unit) that, to date, EMD has produced. There are only 23 of these units on BNSF's roster (as of this photo), and how long they will last is anyone's guess!
