Okay, April Fools! But I thought a nice shot of the sun reflecting off the sides of these empty hoppers was a great way to finish up the day.

Photo ID: 104250 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 1, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Detector (MP 8.4) Arvada, CO 1685 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific UP has a high-wide detector on the Moffat west of North Yard to ensure the entire train will fit through all the tunnels. The detector was once located at MP 6, but was moved east to MP 5.5 when the Arvada Siding was built. Well, it has been moved again, seen here at MP 8.4. It had to be moved again to accommodate the construction of the second main track between C&S Junction and Arvada. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
