Howdy forum. Im going to be going out to Boulder, Colorado in May for a competition and i was wondering what lines went through Boulder and how many trains the lines see. I did find two lines in my search and they were BNSF's Front Range Sub and UP's Moffat Line. Any other information would be helpful. Thanks.

The single track Front Range sub is an interesting line with daytime drills and some big freights including coal trains to the powerplant in Boulder.
The Moffat line is nearby just so. west of Superior if you head down Hwy 93.

Today on the sub at 1:30pm in Boulder I chased a Denver bound manifest with 2 GE widecabs up front, 71 cars in tow, and a GE widecab pusher on the rear. 2 of the cars mid-consist were blue GN hoppers with the goat symbol. Those are classics or relics still here in Y2K. Amazing.
The GE widecabs were 4900, 5300, and 5800 series. What models are these?
