  2. Left Turn On To Atwood Street

    Left Turn On To Atwood Street

    BNSF 4444 leads a autorack/stack train down the middle of Atwood Street in Longmont, CO. Not quite real "street running" as the railroad is separated from the street by a curb, but one lane of Atwood runs on the east side of the track, the other lane on the west side of the...

    Highballing Through Highland

    BNSF 506 leads the Longmont Local over the north switch at Highland, CO. This was kind of a test shot, using a cheapie Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 zoom that I picked up at a pawn shop for $60. I also attached my Tamron SP AF 1.4x teleconverter for a total of 420mm. The Tamron zoom...

    The late afternoon light of New Year's Day, 2008, illuminates the Longmont Turn as it switches and readies to tie down for the night. The background structures on the left side of the photo are the old Great Western sugar mill, shut down long ago and left to rot.

    BNSF 104 Switching In Longmont, CO

    BNSF 104, the Longmont local, switches in Longmont on a cold last day of November. How could BNSF forget such a beautiful paint scheme and proud name??? Canon EOS 5D Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 @ 24mm ISO 400

    BNSF 4408 South Near Highland, CO

    BNSF 4408 waits for a local switching in Longmont to clear before proceeding south on the Front Range Sub. This shot was taken with a 14mm fisheye lens, thus the "warping" affect. Canon EOS 20D EF 70-200mm f/4 L @ 145mm
