Photo ID: 109955 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, December 20, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Granby (7,325 ft) Granby, CO 98 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific If you look a bit in the background of this oil train, you'll notice a bend in the tracks to the left. Indeed, you might notice that the main track where the back half of this train is looks to align perfectly with the siding on the far side of the bend. You'd be correct as, until sometime around 1990, there were actually two sidings at Granby. An east siding and a west siding. Each was about 4,700 feet long. The two siding were ultimately combined to make a single 7,325 foot long siding (and main) that exist today. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Indeed, the station will not be used again until a very late Amtrak #6 shows up about eight hours after this shot was taken.

Even though there are only two Amtrak stops per day, both of which are generally less than three minutes, the station looks fantastic!
