After receiving a new track warrant (via PTC), BNSF 6212 is rolling toward the south siding switch of Longs Peak. The train will continue south to Broomfield where it will meet two northbounds. BNSF 5207 is the sole DPU on a northbound vehicle train currently tied down on the main at Longs Peak. The train hit a car the previous night and maintenance is working on the lead unit on the other end. Note the blue flag attached to the rail on the main. This provides "blue flag protection" for the maintenance crew, ensuring the train is not allowed to move.
