Today's westbound Zephyr had a bit of a unique consist. A pair of Siemens SC-44s and a P42DC lead the Zephyr west at Leyden. Get used to these SC-44s because Amtrak has ordered 75 similar units (called ALC-42s) to start to replace their aging P42DC fleet. The P42DCs are over 20 years old now and many are falling in to a state of disrepair. The ALC-42s are currently being tested and are expected to start to show up and really take over for P42DCs in late 2021.

The snow is coming down pretty hard on this Wednesday afternoon as an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver slows on the main at Leyden. turns out BNSF's yard in Denver was unable to take the train until later in the evening, so DS-80 contacted the train and asked if they could stop at East Leyden, despite having a clear signal. The engineer was able to comply and got the train stopped.

It has now been a year since UP ran a manifest between Denver and Salt Lake City over the Moffat (the MNYRO and MRONY). There is still a lot of business in Grand Junction from the west slope though, so UP still has a manifest that runs between Denver and Grand Junction (the MNYGJ and MGJNY). The MGJNY enters the siding at Leyden to meet the westbound Zephyr, which departed Denver on time this morning.
