At the siding of Broomfield, the Denver-Laurel takes the siding, meeting its counterpart, the Laurel-Denver, which was holding the main. The Front Range Sub is still operated using track warrants, meaning crew have to manually throw all switches at sidings. To save time, crews are not required to realign switches for the main line. So, when a meet happen, the train will take the siding or hold the main depending on how the switch is aligned, regardless of how close or far away the train being met is to the siding.
