I am moving to Loveland, CO and was wondering the type and frequency of BNSF traffic that goes through there. Also do the coal trains that come from Power River that goes through Colorado Springs go through there as well. Thanks in advance.
Two to three trains a day each way, all manifest. BNSF coal moves via Northport-Sterling-Fort Morgan-Denver; the former C&S between Denver and Wendover is much more hilly than the former CB&Q-B&MR. (Between Denver and Texline the C&S is even more hilly but there BN had no alternate choice until it merged with Santa Fe, and at least gained the former Santa Fe between Pueblo and Amarillo via Boise City.)

I live in Colorado Springs, and I suppose one could get sick of seeing coal trains through here. I suppose it is better than nothing. All day long, loads heading south, and empties heading north. We do get an interesting mix of power through here though.
