Pulling across 63rd Street in Boulder, the northbound Valmont coal load prepares to spot about half the train at the power plant. The second half of the cars will be spotted on the Boulder siding until they are needed for unloading.

Time for a break! The Valmont coal train is going to be dropping off its cars at the power plant and siding in Boulder. As a result, the Tacoma-Denver freight will be stopped at 63rd Street for about two hours to wait for the work to be completed.

This double stack (with a few auto racks thrown on the front) train left Tacoma, WA a week before this picture was taken. New Years Eve and New Years Day slowed all trains down a bit! The QTACDEN always runs with auto racks up front and double stack in the back. Of course a big, large cloud set over the area about 20 seconds before I snapped this shot!

Construction is continuing like there is no tomorrow along the tracks just north (geographically west) of the siding of Broomfield. The southbound HLAUDEN (Laurel, MT to Denver, CO) has a colorful consist! It'll enter the siding at Broomfield to meet a loaded Valmont train.

Coming around the wye from Prospect Jct, a trio of C44-9W's lead the eastbound MPVODEN. The train just came across the Moffat from Provo, UT and is about to pull into the yard at Denver, the sun getting low in the afternoon sky.

This is one of those Warbonnets that you almost hope gets repainted sooner rather than later! The red in particular has faded out to a pinkish color.

A badly washed out Warbonnet sits on the service track near the diesel shop in Denver. Unfortunately, the majority of Warbonnets look more like this these days. Closer to white and pink rather than silver and red!

One of the originally painted Heritage Units hangs out on the ready track at BNSF's Diesel Shop. With the yard shut down, it probably won't be going anywhere for a few days!

I came around the bend on Brighton Blvd (the road in the foreground) and came face to face with the eastbound HLINDEN (Lincoln, NE to Denver, CO) manifest. I pulled over to the shoulder to grab a few shots.

Spreading a little Christmas Cheer! BNSF 4904 gives off a little whistle for some ice skaters enjoying the eve of Christmas Eve in Louisville.

The scotchlite on the Dash-9s shows up really well in the last few minutes of the setting sun! BNSF has a lot of paint schemes these days, and it's almost nice to see a set of three units wearing one scheme!

With a track warrant all the way from south siding switch of Broomfield to MP 72 in Fort Collins, the Denver-Laurel freight heads west into the setting sun at Burns Junction. The caboose (now referred to as a "shoving platform") sits on the Lafayette Industrial Lead.

On a day that was almost entirely overcast, the sun breaks through near the end of the day as the Denver to Laurel manifest comes around on the main track at Broomfield.

Any guesses where this shot was taken!? The Longmont Switch, short one unit, has arrived at North Yard in Fort Collins with a string of cars. These cars will be dropped off here for interchange with the Great Western. Typically, the Longmont Switch would have two units, but the second unit (a GP60M) was not cooperating and was left in Longmont.

A freshly painted rebuild GP40 (now a GP40-2R) is the sole power on the Longmont Switch. This unit was built many years ago as CB&Q 177! And a word of warning to the pickup...watch you don't swerve off the road! BNSF's Front Range Sub runs right up the middle of Mason Street in downtown Fort Collins.
