Nostalgia & History > Chinese Red, BSB leading BN train (1971)Date: 05/25/18 08:22 Chinese Red, BSB leading BN train (1971) Author: valmont This shot is from Dec. 1971 and was taken near Broomfield, CO. The BSB GP20 was not a a model I saw frequently in Denver. The lake behind is Lower Church Lake, train is heading north on the C&S and power was #3025, 2003 and 2052. All had gotten their BN#'s by then.

Cheers, Jim Date: 05/25/18 08:54 Re: Chinese Red, BSB leading BN train (1971) Author: cozephyr Legendary location with a delightful BN lashup. Thanks for sharing this gem a Lower Church's Lake when it was wide open (no tree along the track).

My 2nd favorite railroad at my favorite time it its history. John Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/25/18 11:28 by Korigaoka1811. Date: 05/25/18 16:19 Re: Chinese Red, BSB leading BN train (1971) Author: mojaveflyer Great shot, Vince! For those not aware, this is the location of the head on between a northbound freight train and a south bound gravel train in August, 1985. The resulting fuel fire melted the girders of the US 36 highway bridge. Five railroaders died in the collision.

Chip -- With that 4-axle power, I'm guessin' that this train's gonna turn "right" at Burns (??) Jct. -- buzz through Lafayette and approach Longmont thru the "back door"? Yet another great shot, Vince! Pat from Littleton, Colorado Date: 05/26/18 03:33 Re: Chinese Red, BSB leading BN train (1971) Author: kgmontreal Very nice.
