Photo ID: 104366 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, March 3, 2013 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Church Ranch Lake Westminster, CO 158 (3 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) BNSF This southbound HLAUDEN (Laurel, MT to Denver, CO) is about to pass beneath US-36. The train has an ES44C4 on the point. Despite having six axles, only four of them are powered, making this unit an A1A-A1A unit (instead of a C-C unit). The center axles are not powered, but help to disperse the weight of the unit on the rails. So far, only BNSF has ordered these. What's more, EMD will be competing with the C4 by creating their own similar unit. EMDs unit will differ slightly in that their truck configuration will be B1-1B. The unit will be called an SD70ACe-P4 and should be arriving any time. Note the conductor in the cab, giving a friendly wave!

It is waiting for the rail train rolling down the siding to the right. The rail train just released its warrant. This will allow the manifest to copy a new warrant from the dispatcher to proceed from the south siding switch of Broomfield all the way in to town.
