As you can see based on the sign to the right, main track speed limit is 45 MPH at this spot. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is a good length and, as is generally the case with BNSF trains on the Moffat, it is primarily composed of tank cars.

An eastbound Provo-Lincoln manifest slowly rolls along in the siding at Leyden. The Grand Junction based crew does not have enough time remaining to make it in to Denver, so a relief crew will greet the train at the east end of Leyden.

The Zephyr is running 4 1/2 hours late and, as a result, the empty is taking the siding to let the Zephyr pass. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the same symbol that has found a solid set of CSX units leading a couple times over the last few months. This time around, it appears that CSX power was swapped out for UP power when CSX handed the train over to UP. A new ET44AH leads the train west at Leyden.

An eastbound BNSF Provo-Lincoln manifest sits in the siding at Leyden. The train has been here for a few hours while the yard in Denver works to find a spot for them. Soon after meeting the coal empty, it'll finally be their turn to roll. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BC Rail and Canadian National both got a lot of these cowl units with the walkways on the inside. Presumably so they are easier to navigate in rough winter weather.

CSX, Norfolk Southern, Kansas City Southern, Canadian Pacific, and British Columbia have all appeared on the Moffat. And just within the last two weeks! Two of those railroads were on this train.

Apparently, the lead P42 was giving the crew some issues. They attempted to depart at 10:30am, only to stop near Fox Junction with the same problem. For awhile, they were going to back in to the station, but fortunately the Amtrak mechanical department was able to troubleshoot the issue with the crew and, just before noon, they started rolling west. Here, the train is moving on a clear signal at Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Well, 777 didn't hang around Provo long! It was the sole DPU on the eastbound Provo-Lincoln on this morning. It was not wyed in Provo, so it was facing the "wrong way" for the trip back east.
