Just north of Boulder, this Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest is slowing in order to comply with the decreased speed through town.

The HLAUDEN makes its way down the center of Atwood Street in Longmont on an otherwise quiet Sunday evening. The power on the train is a quartet of Dash-9s running elephant style.

A great way to finish off the day was with this Denver, CO to Laurel, MT freight (HDENLAU) at Broomfield. I shot the train a few hours earlier preparing its train for departure from the yard. Here, the train has a track warrant all the way to Longs Peak, so it won't be making a stop anytime soon!

A few afternoon clouds spill over on the Continental Divide as the Valmont coal load works on spotting cars at the power plant in Boulder. Interestingly, the third unit on the train in a C44-9W, not a unit with AC traction motors! Not too common these days.

The Valmont coal load makes a reverse move away from the camera to spot a string of cars at the power plant, noted to the left in this shot. Despite the somewhat rural look, this is actually in the middle of Boulder!

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.

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.
