BNSF 3014 with Beautiful RS3K at Longmont, Colorado on 11-21-2011

It's Monday again on the Front Range Subdivision, and the Longmont Switcher has its four unit lash up once again. After departing Longmont this morning, the four units took about 40 cars with them to Loveland and Fort Collins. After doing work in Loveland and making their pick up at North Yard in Fort Collins, they raced back south to have a meet with a Windmill Blade Train at Longs Peak. Soon after, the finally arrived back in Longmont with a short train. They parked their train on GW 2 Track and then parked their units on the house track and tied them down for the day.

Classic, glad you caught it, and in such nice weather too! You put the COLOR in Colorado! I wish it is as sunny here in Pennsylvania and Vermont as it is out there in Colorado! Nice!

By the way, what does that "D" mean at the sign post?

Classic power and a classic video indeed!!

think that might actually be a Prime 990, regardless its a great horn. Damn I wish we had power like that on the locals around here and not 500 and other orange junk.
