I wasn't able to shoot the train on the main, but I did find the power sitting near the house in BNSF's yard. The units have barely been touched from the original BN paint. Just a small "BNSF" on the cab of each unit. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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!

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 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.

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.

Before today, I had never seen the track used (although I'm sure it is used regularly). The track runs on the south side of 48th Street under I-25, around the north end of a park, then across Washington Street and the Platte River and into the yard. Here, a transfer holds near National Western Drive at a red flag, waiting for authority to come into the yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
