It was a high ISO (800) and hence a bit grainy. I actually really like the way it turned out in black and white. The train approaching is the HPASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) about a mile and a half north of the Westminster Mall. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The daily Denver to Laurel manifest has a C40-8W on the point followed by a pair of SD75Ms. Not long ago, both of those SD75Ms were wearing a Warbonnet scheme. The DENLAU just met the PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) at Broomfield and is now proceeding north at dusk. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew on this stopped Valmont coal load seem to be taking advantage of the "nice" weather by opening the nose door on the lead unit.

DC power running on a coal load...not only DC power, but some very nicely painted DC power at that. The coal load is headed for the Valmont power plant in Boulder.

The first official paint scheme for BNSF after the 1995 merger was the Heritage scheme (now called the Heritage 1, or H1 scheme). You know, in a lot of ways, I think these railfans might just know what they are talking about! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 102484 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, December 9, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 14 Westminster, CO 2012 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF When I first started taking pictures when I was a teenager, it was all black and white (film) to save on money. When digital came out and it was free to take color pictures, it was all color, all the time! Now, a few years later, I like including black and white in the mix again. Here, the Denver-Laurel pulls into the siding at Broomfield, fresh snow on the ground. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
