From December of 2017 to March 2018, I compiled several short clips of various trains traversing Colorado's Joint Line. I collected them all here in this brief video. We start off on December 19th, as we follow to Northbounds from North Springs on up to Palmer Lake. The second train is the Homeward Bound Pikes Peak Local, sporting some rather classic power on the point. We skip ahead to March 25th, 2018 as we are now on the very south end of the line. From here we follow a Northbound BNSF Q-train as it moves along from North Bragdon on up to South Nixon, the new terminal for CTC territory along the subdivision. It gets up behind an empty Northbound drag which is waiting south of Fountain in an otherwise un-photographed region for the Joint Line. Once it gets the green light, it starts ahead toward Colorado Springs, where UP has just finished up switching in the yard. Be sure to watch the video all the way through to the end for a special bonus. Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!! Copyright Nick Valdez Railroad Photography 2018.
