In this shot, the MNYGJ is heading west on the existing Main (future Main 1) as a tamper sits on future Main 2. BNSF's Golden Sub is on the right side of the picture. You can also see the new signals (turned to the side and not yet activated) for C&S Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It seems that of the two big Canadian railroads, Canadian National is the one that tends to appear in Colorado on BNSF. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's Provo-Denver manifest was tied down on the siding at Leyden. With a Warbonnet on the point and a very rare Canadian Pacific unit second out, it was a colorful consist. Notice anything odd about the front of the Warbonnet? Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such was the case on this morning as the MNYGJ pulls out of C&S Jct on the Main Track. You can see the progress being made by BNSF on the right side of the frame. You can also see the lack of progress made by UP recently on Main 2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The original schedule had the project stated for completion in December. The latest estimate is March. As you can see, concrete ties are standing by (and have been for months), but no rail for Main 2 has been laid yet. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

While the bridge will be four lanes, one two are open thus far. Crews also have not yet erected fencing along the edges of the bridge (although the process has started). Here, the MNYGJ is on the left pulling out of North Yard on to the main. BNSF's Beer Run is holding on the North Yard siding waiting on the MNYGJ to get in the clear.

With this picture, I finally have a shot of all four Heritage Units leading the California Zephyr. As far as I'm concerned, I saved the best for last. The Phase III scheme has always been my favorite. The Zephyr charges west out of Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
