GE engines have, in the past, been referred to as toasters. And this is an example of why that is sometimes the case! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 107196 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, February 10, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Broomfield Broomfield, CO 1767 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF This Warbonnet has seen better days! When the paint on a Warbonnet has gotten this bad, the unit is sometimes then referred to as a "Pinkbonnet" due to the faded paint. Still, it's 2018 and it's been 20+ years since there was a freshly painted Warbonnet, so I'll take what I can get. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the distance, you might be able to just see the tail end of the southbound that they met on the main. The northbound already has a warrant to continue north, but they will first have to throw the switch at the north end of the siding.

Photo ID: 106393 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, January 26, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Broomfield Broomfield, CO 2035 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) Union Pacific At the north siding switch of Broomfield, a BNSF crew has UP's ZDVSC (Denver, CO to Salt Lake City, UT) daily intermodal train moving quickly north. Typically, this train departs Denver between 4am and 5am and typically, of course, it runs on UP's Greeley Sub. But a derailment the previous night still had the line closed and UP needed to run the Z-Train. Many railfans were hoping that UP might decide to single-stack the containers and run the train via the Moffat (as the Moffat cannot support double stacks). Or at least run the TOFC cars via the Moffat. Instead, this equally rare shot was produced. BNSF allowed UP to run the Z-Trains on the Front Range Sub between Denver and Cheyenne. This northbound Z-Train would meet the southbound ZLADV at Longs Peak! I was able to get this shot with the last few remnants of light as the sun had already set behind the Rockies.

UP power on an intermodal train coming underneath 92nd Avenue on the BNSF Front Range Sub!? Yep! A derailment near Eaton, CO on the Greeley Sub resulted in UP running their daily Z-Train north via BNSF to Cheyenne.

Due to a derailment on UP's Greeley Sub, UP talked to BNSF and rerouted the daily ZDVSC up the Front Range Sub to Cheyenne. As far as I know, this is the first time this has ever happened!

The train is crossing 88th Avenue on the Front Range Sub. If you look in the distance just to the left of the train, you can see a couple of apartment buildings.
