UP 7504 leads the only UP manifest that still runs on the Moffat, the manifest that runs between North Yard in Denver and the Grand Junction Yard. Typically, the westbound train departs North Yard in the darkest hours of the night. However, problems with UP's MPUNY (on the Joint Line) resulted in the power on that train getting to North Yard much later than expected. That power as needed for the MNYGJ (seen here), delaying the departure of the MNYGJ. The result was a great daylight chase on the Moffat. The ski resort you see in the distance in the small resort of Granby Ranch.

AMTK 7 and AMTK 23 lead the westbound Zephyr, running right on time as it heads west on the main at Tabernash. The Zephyr still runs exclusively with P42DCs. The new ALC Chargers require a fuel additive called DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) as they are Tier-4 compliant. Rumor has it that Amtrak has been unable to find a DEF provider for Denver. Denver is the refuel spot for the Zephyr between Chicago and Emeryville.
