After getting a bit of sun at Plain, the clouds quickly rolled in and this eastbound manifest rolls through Little Ten Curve at Rocky in the shade.

A good old Colorado snow storm dropped about five inches of snow at Plain overnight, giving way to partly cloudy skies today. Despite some sunlight, the temperature was only 5°F, keeping the snow on the vegetation. BNSF's orange looks great as a trio of GEs lead the Provo-Lincoln through the scene.

BNSF's Provo-Lincoln manifest rolls east down the main at Plain with some beautiful, snowy flat irons as the backdrop. Plain has not been used since five inches of snow fell overnight!

In order to align some switches, this UP special stopped at the perfect spot to get a shot of this steam crane on the far side of the yard!

Here is something that hasn't been seen in a very, very long time! A Rio Grande GP30 rolling through BNSF's yard! The nose of a GP38-2 is visible to the left and the nose of an ES44AC is visible to the right!

This Provo-Denver is relatively short, with only three engines and 45 cars in tow. It seems that BNSF's Provo-Lincoln manifests are generally longer than the Provo-Denver manifests. The train has a clear signal at the west switch of Leyden here in this February snow storm.

The only DPU on this northbound manifest is facing the "wrong way" (for photography, that is) as it throttles up to help the train make it over the climb up Burke's Hill.

Somehwere at every grade crossing in the United States, you should be able to fine a sign indicating the 800 number to call in the event of an emergency. You can also find a unique ID for the grade crossing as well. Such is the case here at Griffith Street in Louisville, CO.

Looks like this Warbonnet has been the victim of a bit of radiator burn! GE engines have, in the past, been referred to as toasters. And this is an example of why that is sometimes the case!

A northbound BNSF manifest rolls through the middle of downtown Louisville, CO. Louisville is a relatively small town in between Broomfield and Boulder as this train makes its way.

This Warbonnet has seen better days! When the paint on a Warbonnet has gotten this bad, the unit is sometimes then referred to as a "Pinkbonnet" due to the faded paint. Still, it's 2018 and it's been 20+ years since there was a freshly painted Warbonnet, so I'll take what I can get.

A pair of C44-9Ws lead a northbound manifest out of the siding at Broomfield on a snowy February morning. In addition to the power here on the point, one more C44-9W is DPU'd on the rear as well.

With the north switch of Broomfield aligned for the siding, this northbound manifest is able to start pulling again. They have a track warrant that goes from the north switch of Broomfield to the north switch of Longs Peak.
