Front Range (BNSF) EMD Leasing
The paint scheme applied to the "Oakway" leasing SD60's, which came out fresh in the mid-1980's, is one of my favorite schemes. I've always been a fan of blue, so I particularly like these units. Twenty years later, their paint is still holding up pretty well for the most part! EMD 9082 is leading a northbound Military Train on the Front Range Sub the day after Thanksgiving.

EMD 9082 leads a northbound Military train north out of Utah Junction with a new track warrant. The train, loaded mostly with trucks and hummers, will make its first stop of the day at Broomfield to wait for two southbounds. UP's new Belt Flyover runs over the Front Range Sub in the background.

BNSF 3159 is the sole power on an empty southbound Boeing train. The train is headed for Wichita, KS, but is getting a two hour delay while waiting for the northbound HDENLAU.

Extended cab GP50 3159 was one of five custom built GP50s built almost exactly 21 years ago in November of 1985. These test units were designed to comfortably fit five crew members, hence the larger cab.

BNSF 3159 (ex-BN 3149) sits on the siding at Broomfield waiting for a northbound HDENLAU to come out of Denver. BNSF 3159 was one of only five GP50s to receive a specially built cab designed to comfortably fit five crew members.

FURX 7223 leads the HDENLAU north through Longmont. And in the case, the term "through" is not exaggerating at all! BNSF's Front Range Sub runs right up the middle of Atwood Street in Longmont - houses on either side of the street. The train creeps up the street at a speed of no more that 10 to 12 MPH!

Descending down from Burke Hill, the HDENLAU is less than two miles away from the Valmont Power Plant in Boulder. Note that the third unit in the lineup is MRL F45XR #392!

With a long and heavy train, three classic EMDs (two SD40-2's and an F45XR) work hard to pull and long and heavy HDENLAU north toward Louisville.

It can be very difficult to shoot northbound on the Front Range Sub, particularly between the months of September and March. Regardless, here FURX 7223 (ex-BNSF) leads the HDENLAU north at MP 12. Note the third unit, a Montana Rail Link F45XR #392!

Although somewhat cast in shadow, I enjoy this view of two different trains meeting each other at the siding at Broomfield. The siding and the main follow completely different terrains that differ in altitude by as much as twenty feet as you can see in this picture. The QDENTAC moves north through the siding above while the MLAUDEN moves south on the main below.

This wide angle shot shows the newly built road connecting Broomfield with the Northwest Parkway. In addition, these new apartments are quickly being built next ot the tracks. No doubt the future home of people complaining about the noisy trains running next to their house. Imagine what this will look like in twenty years when commuter rail runs through this location!

Amazing what a few months can do! Less than two years ago, the road in the foreground and the apartments in the background hadn't even been thought up yet! Today, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get good shots of this wonderful S-Curve.
