Photo ID: 102032 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 3, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 17 Broomfield, CO 1966 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF Two southbounds ahead of this train meant its warrants ran out at MP 17, so it had to stop and wait for the train ahead of it to get further down the track. With that requirement completed, a new warrant has been issued and the crew throttles up to continue south. You can always count on GE's to put on a good show when throttling up!

Photo ID: 102031 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 3, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burns Junction Broomfield, CO 1982 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF Some nice power to be had on the HDENLAU-03. The "BNSF" patch has almost rubbed off the cab of the Warbonnet. And that paint is pretty good by modern Warbonnet standards! Technical problems kept this train is the yard most of the morning and early afternoon, so the crew stopped at Broomfield to wait for a relief crew to take it north to Cheyenne.

Photo ID: 102030 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 3, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Broomfield Broomfield, CO 1902 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF A few weeks ago, the Longmont Turn power consisted of two Cascade Green SD40-2s. Both of those units must have gone in for inspections because this Yellow-Bonnet SD40-2 and New Image ES44AC are in charge now! The light power is headed down the main at Broomfield. Once in town, it'll pick up cars to take back north to Longmont. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The second unit has to be just about the cleanest H2 units on the roster! It is one of the few SD75Ms on BNSFs roster to lose its Warbonnet scheme in favor on the Heritage 2 scheme. Meanwhile, it looks like that CSX C40-8W has seen better days! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Fortunately, the southbound ahead of this train will roll up its warrant to MP 17, allowing this manifest to continue without stopping through Boulder.

Over a 5 1/2 mile section of track, trains have to blow their horn through 17 grade crossing (including the run down Atwood Street). Here, the train is running parallel to 1st Avenue, about to pass underneath the Terry Street overpass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Two southbounds ahead of it and the crew will hold here until they get a warrant south of Longmont. Note the new ties along the side of the track. Looks like BNSF is planning some maintenance for the summer! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Upon arriving at Longs Peak (just north of Longmont), the train will tie down due to maintenance further north on the line.

The northbound HDENLAU approaches a new "ant hill" (behind the photographer) which has sprung up in the last two years. It was nice to see an Oakway SD60 - EMD 9070 - helping pull with the northbound. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

My friend indicated that they thought the train was going to be led by a Cascade Green SD60M ... a very rare site on the Moffat. Unfortunately, two Dash-9s were all the train had to offer. Granted the lead unit was BNSF 5378. 5378 was one of the 73 SD40T-2s rostered by Rio Grande. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
