Remarks & Notes |
BNSF 6725 (ES44C4) leads a freight towards the town of Niwot, Colorado. The sign is a reminder of the importance the railroad had in establishing this town. The town took form in 1873 as a railroad stop midway between the larger cities of Boulder and Longmont. It reached its agricultural heyday in the first decades of the 20th century, as farmers from the surrounding fields would come to Niwot to load their sugar beets onto trains. |
