One of only four remaining GP10s (at the time of the photo) was calling Denver home for awhile! The cab almost has an Alco look to it, which is one of the things that identifies the unit as a GP10 and not a low-nose GP7 or GP9.

Looks like BNSF is starting to patch the few-remaining BN units with the New Image herald on the cab. Keeping with tradition, BNSF matches the color of the unit for the patch (whereas UP just throws a yellow sticker on the cab).

At first glance, there may not be a lot that is particularly interesting in this shot. However, the reason I snapped this one is because of the paint schemes. It is the first and (as of the time of the shot), the only picture I have with BNSF's Heritage, Heritage 2, and New Image scheme all in the same shot.

Some colorful power was found on BNSF's Denver to Provo manifest on this particular morning. There is a good representation of east roads to go along with the BNSF leader! The CSX unit is an ES44DC and the Norfolk Southern unit is an SD60.

An interesting mix of paint schemes for the year 2007. On the left, Kansas City Southern's white paint scheme (now retired). On the right, of course, is Santa Fe's Warbonnet. Not a bad mix between the two of them, really!

Just south of Crews, this northbound manifest is slowing down on a yellow signal. The train will have to hold up at Crews for nearly an hour while waiting for Maintenance to clear up ahead.

About eight miles north of Bragdon, this BNSF manifest is moving quickly on Main 2 headed for Denver. It had a great consist...I particularly liked the GP60M second out!

I kind of liked the irony in this particular picture. You have Burlington Northern on one side coming together with Santa Fe on the other side to create a shiny new railroad, BNSF!

A slightly different perspective of Valmont for this HLAUDEN. I thought I'd hike down the hill from the top of Legion Park a ways to see what a shot looked like closer to the tracks and track-level. A bit of Dark Future mixed in with Pumpkins.

An ES44AC leads a coal empty north through Boulder on the mainline. Not too often on the Front Range Sub that you can get a shot of two coal trains meeting each other! Now granted, the train on the siding to the right has no power as the hoppers are loaded and waiting to head to Valmont. Close enough to a meet though.

Something is a comin' from the south! A BNSF coal empty being rerouted from the Brush Subdivision creeps into Boulder at 10 MPH. The train had three units (2x1), but even so, I think it was quite a pull coming up into Boulder.

We've all heard of NIMBY's, an acronym for Not In My Back Yard. You just know that people moving into this new development will be complaining about those darn trains soon. I think I'm going to become a NATROW - Not Along The Right Of Way. 30 months ago, there wasn't a sign of development here and it was a GREAT S-Curve to shoot. Oh well, progress.....

BNSF 6060 leads a coal empty north on the Front Range Sub just north of the siding of Broomfield. The train encountered a bit of a delay at Broomfield. First, the train had to cut the Nickel Street crossing, then it had to wait for two southbounds, then it had to put its train back together, and finally, it had to contact mechanical to solve an alarm issue on its DPU!

This 7,000-foot-long coal empty has been rerouted from the Brush Sub to the Front Range Sub due to track work. Not very common to see a long silver snake like this on the Front Range Sub!

This northbound coal empty (reroute) is so long, that it couldn't fit north of the Nickel Street crossing in Broomfield and the train had to cut the crossing! The crew on the southbound Pasco to Saginaw manifest stopped here to assist in the reassembling of the coal train.
