Spanish Peaks Southbound - a photo on Flickriver

Spanish Peaks Southbound

            Ever since 2003, BNSF would begin the practice of directional running bewteen Pueblo, CO and Amarillo Texas. The Pueblo, and Boise City Subdivisions would be used for southbound traffic, while the Dalhart, Twin Peaks, and Spanish Peaks Subs would be used for Northbound traffic. This practice is still going on today, but there can be some exceptions, as pictured here, a southbound BNSF Windmill Train at Ludlow, CO. North of Minnequa, CO (Where these types of trains originate from), there's a tunnel that's not clear for trains high and wide, so they must take the Spanish Peaks Sub south to Trinidad, and then they head east on the Raton Sub to La Junta, where they can then continue north, east, or south, wherever they need to go.
