Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF
This BNSF coal load is climbing west of the Moffat, its back half still in Tunnel 27 in the distance. Not far behind the head end, the hoppers are passing what was once Tunnel 28. However, the tunnel has long since been daylighted (blown up), and the tan-colored rock face is the only evidence that remains.

There was a time when this view was completely unobstructed of trees. Made for a great shot of westbounds below Tunnel 29. Fortunately, there is still enough of a gap to get a shot of the power on the curve.

Snow is on the ground as the Zephyr wraps around the curve east of Tunnel 29. Here you can see examples of the Phase I scheme, Phase II scheme and Phase IVb schemes.

A whole lot of power leads up the MNYGJ, although only five of the eight units are online. The train is only going 12 MPH and is rounding the curve just south of Tunnel 29.
