The train runs with UP power from the mines to Denver. Then, BNSF adds a unit and the train runs to Boulder. The power the sits in Longmont until the train has been emptied and it's ready to return to town. In this shot, the power sits idling in Longmont, waiting to return to town.

However, every once in a while, you'll catch a reroute or an unscheduled extra train. Such was the case here with BNSF's V-HYDDEN3-09A. This was a Vehicle Train running from Hauser Yard, ID to Denver, CO. The train - comprised of more double stacks than auto racks - was holding short of MP 16, waiting for instructions from Rennicks Yard on where to go!

The train is about to pass underneath US-36 (near 112th Avenue) as it proceeds toward Denver. Once in Denver, the BNSF SD70MAC will be removed and the train will be turned over to UP. UP will take the train west to a Colorado mine. The train will come back to Denver, will be turned over to BNSF, and the process will repeat.

The "Oakways" came onto BN's property in 1987, numbered as EMD 9000 to EMD 9099. Today, all things considered, their paint still looks pretty darn good! Take, for example, EMDX 9050 here on the BWWCHE-28. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.
