I believe this train is an (empty) windmill blade train. I'm not entirely sure why it is headed south (since it is empty) as there is a windmill manufacturing plant in Windsor, CO. Regardless, the Norfolk Southern leader is a nice touch! If you look on the main (to the left of the train), you can see the future south siding switch for the siding of Broomfield.
