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.

Granted the snowiest two months for Colorado are March and April, but it is a little odd that virtually no snow has fallen thus far! This Denver-Provo is pulling west toward a clear signal after meeting two eastbounds at Leyden on this dry December morning.

Here, a westbound BNSF Denver-Provo meets an eastbound BNSF empty sand train at Leyden. I have definitely noticed that more and more older units are being repainted in to the "New Image" scheme.

The westbound already met a UP manifest and is now waiting on a BNSF covered hopper train before getting a signal to head west. The train is not particularly long and is holding back a few hundred feet from the west switch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It could have been close to a rolling meet, except for the fact that the BNSF train will actually be meeting two here at Leyden.
