Milepost 16 on the Front Range Subdivision is about a half mile north of Broomfield, and right at Brainard Drive. The HLAUDEN-25 is stopped short of the grade crossing until they can get a warrant down in between switches at Broomfield.

The PASSAG (Pasco, WA to Saginaw, TX) manifest is holding the main rather than the siding because there is another southbound coming out of Boulder, so there will be a three-way meet at Broomfield and the HDENLAU will hold the siding for both southbounds.

It's nice when "the norm" is broken every once in awhile...true, they are still all C44-9W's, but at least all three are on the point!
