This is one of my favorites types of shots. The snow flying everywhere! This train held in the siding at Leyden for a couple hours to wait for Amtrak and the MNYRO.

Charging east through the snow, this Provo-Denver manifest is on the (relatively new) Main 2. The track in the foreground is the Arvada Siding, used by UP to interchange coal traffic to BNSF for the Coors Brewery in Golden.

If you are hot, this picture might help to cool you off a bit. The first real blizzard of the 2012-2013 winter season finally hit the Front Range. Here, BNSFs HPVODEN is coming through Arvada (CP DS007) on Main 2 on its way east.

It's not uncommon in winter for trains to kick up some snow...but dust? This is due to all the work being done by UP in the effort to construct the new main track (Main 2) between Tennyson Street and Pierce Street. The old Arvada Siding has been completely taken out and grading is now being done in preparation for the welded rail that will become Main 2. The new Arvada Siding is visible...buried in ballast, toward the bottom and right of the picture.

A nearly-matched trio (save for the burn on the side of the lead unit) of elephant style ES44ACs lead BNSF's Denver-Provo trackage rights train on the Moffat just east of Sheridan. The track next to the train is currently the Arvada Siding but soon it will be turned into Main 2. The new Arvada Siding is being built just to the left of BNSF Golden Sub near the right side of the picture.
