Photo ID: 107279 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, February 20, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 1127 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific One of my favorite "special effects" that can be added to pictures is the "tilt shift" (or "iris shift/blur") effect. When applied, the effect keeps a particular part of the picture...in this case, the SD70ACe...in focus, and gradually blurs the image toward its borders. That's the effect here as a single SD70ACe heads west to rescue the MNYRO in the siding at East Portal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That led to a nice bit of frost on the just about everything. A nice view for the passengers of the Zephyr as they fly by at track speed near the west end of Leyden.

On this evening, the eastbound Zephyr is indeed on time as it rolls down the main at Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The paint still looks great on BNSF 1119, third unit out on BNSF's Denver-Provo on this first day of February. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The crew that brought that train in last night stayed the night in a hotel and is now taking this Denver-Provo back west today. The train is taking the siding for a meet with an eastbound coal load that is currently at Plain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

And, even less common is two KCS units! But two just happened to be added as DPUs on the tail end of this Provo-Lincoln as it heads east out of Leyden.

It had a pair of Kansas City Southern Belle's for power! Turns out that power was added as DPUs to the Provo-Lincoln yesterday! Just happened to catch the SD70ACe and ES44AC as they rolled past the long-abandoned depot at Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The BNSF manifests that run on the Moffat are almost entirely dominated by tank cars. Most of their trackage rights trains are probably 70%+ tank cars these days. A westbound Denver-Provo waits in the siding as an eastbound Provo-Lincoln rolls down the main. The eastbound isn't going too quickly as it is following the West Local and, as such, running on yellows. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A rare visitor to Colorado, this was original a (standard cab) SD60 that Norfolk Southern rebuilt at its Altoona, PA shops. In addition to adding a wide cab, the unit received some electrical upgrades as well. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 107070 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, January 30, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 1200 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific This empty rail train departed Provo, UT a day earlier. It came off the LA&SL (via UP's Sharp Sub) and the came east over the Grande. I did not think I was going to get any shots of it because it didn't leave Bond until 12:40pm. This time of year, I figured there was no chance it would reach the Front Range before sunset. But with green signals the entire trip, it made amazing time and was at Leyden by 5pm!
