It was delivered to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in April 1969. After its service on the B&O, it spent time with leasing company GATX, Burlington Northern, leasing company CORP, and leasing company HMBX, before finally landing a spot on the Rocky Mountaineer roster. This is the first revenue run of the Rocky Mountaineer ("Rockies to the Red Rocks") for 2023. The train just knocked down a clear (green) signal at Leyden.

Note a UP MOW truck sitting on either side of the tracks, waiting to pick up some track and time after the manifest clears.

It is far more common to find some ES44s in the mix! However, the such a trio of 90s power leads here, second out being a former Santa Fe Warbonnet.

However, it was great to be taking some pictures again on this morning, capturing the Denver-Provo at Leyden just after 10am.

Meanwhile, the westbound BNSF Denver-Provo knocks down a clear signal at the east switch of Leyden. The train is the first of two westbounds coming out of Denver back-to-back this morning.

A few good trees and interesting railroad equipment in the shot, with the east slope of the Rocky Mountains in the background. A trio of SD70ACes lead the MGJNY out of Leyden on the main, UP 1996 being second. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the only UP manifest (along with its westbound counterpart) that UP still runs on the Moffat in 2020. Traffic between Denver and Salt Lake now runs via the Overland in Wyoming. This morning, the MGJNY had to wait in Leyden for a (very late) eastbound Zephyr and an (on time) westbound Zephyr before getting the light here to continue east.
