It is a bit of a brisk morning out as this BNSF double stack starts pulling north along Church Ranch Lake. The train had been waiting here so as not to block any grade crossing until the southbound they were going to meet reached Broomfield. Now that said southbound had reached Broomfield, it is time to go!

It would seem that the siding at Broomfield hasn't been used in a day or two! The rail head is completely covered by snow even though there hasn't really been any snow fall in 24 hours.

Who will reach the grade crossing first? The double stack is pulling in to the clear on the siding as a southbound molten sulfur train (called the "stinky slinky") starts pulling on the main. Both trains are blowing their horns as they approach Nickel Street.

It is 15°F outside but the sun is shining brightly on the stinky slinky as it pulls south on the main at Broomfield. You can just see the end DPU in the distance and you can also see Longs Peak on the right side of the picture, trying to break through some morning fog.

Tried my best to get a rural looking shot despite the fact this area is anything but rural anymore! The Flat Iron Crossing mall is behind the train to the left and a relatively new condo complex is to the right. However, the Rockies look fantastic on a sunny February morning. Interestingly, you can actually see UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub on the mountains in the distance! Plainview is roughly above the double stacks (with Rainbow Cut above the first car) and tunnels 3 and 4 are above the lead unit.

The Denver area got hit by two snow storms over the course of four days. The first one left 15-24 inches of snow behind and the second added another 2-3 on top. This was the first (nearly) cloud-free morning in about five days.
