Such is the case here at west Roggen where a coal empty is headed into the siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 104189 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Roggen, CO 233 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF Stopped on the siding at Roggen, this coal empty is still hanging out the west end of the siding. This is to avoid blocking the grade crossing at County Road 73 in town. Once the westbound the train is meeting (the Z-train from Chicago) is about 10 miles away, the dispatcher will instruct the train to pull in to the clear.

Photo ID: 103632 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 5, 2010 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 532 Brighton, CO 400 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Brush (BNSF) BNSF The Hudson Turn, carrying a string of tanks, heads back west toward Denver in between Barr and Irondale. The train will meet a Denver-Edgemont manifest that is waiting in the siding at Irondale. I had wanted to get some shots of the manifest from this overpass (as it was led by a trio of SD60M's), but alas I was unable to. The brakes on the fifth car back on the Hudson Turn are sticking! The train stopped to inspect just east of Irondale, blocking the Denver-Edgemont. By the time the Hudson Turn moved out of the way, the manifest was held for a Z-Train and the sun set with it sitting at Irondale.
