This is in advance of the westbound Rocky Mountaineer, now just two blocks away to the east. If you look closely, you can see that, like so many industrial lights these days, the signal lights are LED. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Amtrak is slowly repainting their entire fleet of P42DCs. I do not know at what pace Amtrak is repainting the units, but if they are repainting them at an average of one a week, it'll take a little under four years for them all to be repainted. Regardless of the time, the Phase 5 scheme will be disappearing, so get your shots while you can! AMTK 22 is still in Phase 5b paint as the westbound Zephyr passes by on the main at Leyden.

The foliage has greened up for Spring, and the temperatures generally are not too unbearably hot just yet! Regarding the green scenery, a case-in-point is here at East Leyden as UP's MGJNY heads east for the final ten or so miles toward North Yard.

Prior to this train, the last UP coal train I shot on the Moffat was in December 2024. That's not to suggest that was the last one that ran. Only that they are rare enough that I go quite a bit of time in between seeing them these days. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
