Photo ID: 101881 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 1, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Longmont Longmont, CO 2045 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF A rails-eye view of the BNSF 7812. From this view, there is nothing really to indicate that the unit has even been patched! This is one of two units used on the Longmont Turn. The orange box above the plow is a FRED unit used on the local. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Looks like some interesting, ummm, patchwork (?) on the number boards! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101879 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 1, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Longmont Longmont, CO 2428 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF From what I've read, this was the very last Burlington Northern unit ever painted in cascade green! Apparently it was actually painted shortly after the BNSF merger. It was at the shops waiting to be painted (with a work order for this scheme) as the merger went through. It was one of two SD40-2's serving as power on the Longmont Turn. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101878 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 1, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Longmont Longmont, CO 2166 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF If you've ever wondered why BNSF doesn't run coal trains from the Power River Basin down to the Joint Line via the Front Range Sub, this is without a doubt just one of many reasons why. This is the mainline through Longmont. Trains roll through here very slowly, blocking traffic at nearly 20 crossing as they go through. The Longmont Depot - still used by BNSF - is seen on the right.

Photo ID: 101877 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 1, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Longmont Longmont, CO 1927 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF One of my favorite four axle units on the rails today is certainly the GP60. I particularly like the unique and distinctive dynamic brake intakes. BNSF 8700 is shown here serving on the Longmont Switch, which runs north out of Longmont to Cheyenne. On this Saturday, the power was tied down (along with B40-8W #506) in Longmont. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The shot is designed to demonstrate the quiet residential street of Atwood being stirred by the freight rolling right down the middle! The car to the left is a Galaxie 500.

Trains here don't go much faster than 15-20 MPH and local residents get a nice wakeup call! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While the tracks don't actually run down the middle of the asphalt, this is definitely some finest street running around. Houses line either side of Atwood Street.

The units cut away from their train (the HPASSAG) at Broomfield to help pull the Valmont train over Westminster Hill. After returning to Broomfield, the power tied on and a short time later, continued south into town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew on the HLAUDEN died here at MP 16, tied the train down, and was picked up by a crew van. However, somebody forgot to flip the lights off before leaving!

In the distance, the HLAUDEN had to tie its train down at MP 16 because its crew died! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
