While I try not to overdo roster shots, how can you pass up a roster shot of a Canadian Pacific C44-9W in Colorado...in winter no less!? It seems that of the two big Canadian railroads, Canadian National is the one that tends to appear in Colorado on BNSF.

Winter. It is the time for black and white photos. Heck, with the snow, there isn't much color in the shot to being with, right!? This BNSF train is tied down at Leyden, patiently awaiting a relief crew to take it to town.

This was a pleasant surprise on the drive home from work! 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?

On a cloudy Wednesday afternoon, a coal train holds in the siding at Leyden to wait for the westbound "West Local". The local only has a pair of GP40-2's for power and a string of heavy covered hoppers, so the geeps are working very hard.

Got maintenance? A Loram ballast machine is doing some ballast work along the outside of the rails on the siding at Leyden. The Loram crew had hoped to be working on the main east of Leyden, but, as you can see, the dispatcher had trains to run! So, the crew took advantage off the non-mainline time and did some work on the siding. The crew was explicitly told not to work on the south side of the tracks (the inside of the curve) due to the trains coming through on the main. Always, safety first!

Interesting to note that the second-to-last unit in the consist is an SD9043MAC. It is pretty rare to find those in coal service these days as UP decided in 2009 to remove them from said service. How things have changed. The Moffat has gone from an EMD-only club to almost exclusively GE!

The crew on board this BNSF empty pipe train waits patiently on the siding at Leyden while a spot in the yard opens up. The 45-car train left Provo the night before and it is ultimately headed for Pueblo.

A BNSF empty pipe train (with a Norfolk Southern ES40DC to boot) sits in the siding at Leyden while waiting for a spot to open up in the yards in Denver. The train came from Provo, running through much of Utah and Colorado in the dark. It is supposed to be heading to Pueblo, although I don't know where the cars are going specifically once they get there; where they will get more pipe.
