Western Railroad Discussion > KCS Belle ACe leads a blade train to Fort Collins, Colo

H/T to Colorado Zephyr....

1. New student housing near CSU, should be kinda noisy from the train though...

2. Almost to Prospect...second unit is TFM 1672

3. Chased on my bike to Mason Street. That's hard on a 20" wheel single speed.

Yes, thanks to the excellent fans to the south of us! I got'um too, but I was waiting for you to post. We drove farther, but had time constraints so had to leave it, but being northbound, when the sun came out bright it was too backlit anyway.

Photo 1 - North of Boulder, CO, and no snow in the foothills yet.

Photo 2 - Milepost 36 south of Niwot, CO going through the sags. The cars in this train were a mishmash of different types of wind turbine-hauling equipment, with some heavy-duty flats mixed in with the light-duty flats, a gon and some specially-equipped bulkhead flats. Perhaps this equipment is headed for storage?

Photo 3 - On 11-30, a Great Falls - Denver rolls over the Cache La Poudre River in Fort Collins, CO.

Uno more...

Photo 4 - A Washington to Texas military train that was all kind of ho-hum passed through northern Colorado a couple of days ago, power was H2 and the loads were Civil Engineering equipment, scrapers, loaders and dump trucks, and the last half all containers. Here it is just north of Busch, CO, north of Fort Collins.

I get by with a little help from my friends... === === = === JLH

BNSF Law? I think you are mistaken.

Ohh I beg your pardon it's actually federal law. I just got it from the BNSF website

He's talking about the "Friends of BNSF" website, you know where it tells everyone what they "can" or "can't" do as a member.

Ah-ha...so are they really invoking some federal statute or provision of the Patriot Act in this?

Throw away the key... === === = === JLH
