The blizzard, just getting started here with about an inch on the ground, is expected to dump between 18 and 26 inches of snow in the next 24 hours.

Photo ID: 101095 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 3, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (DS012) Arvada, CO 1918 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak From a photographic point of view, both Amtrak and the Ski Train run in the wrong direction at the wrong time of day. The train run west in the morning (away from the sun) and east in the evening (away from the sun). That's why it is always great to find Amtrak running over seven hours late! On this afternoon, the sun was less than two hours away from setting when Amtrak 5 came west through Leyden at 3:30pm. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Okay, so perhaps in reality it is just snow-covered coal that resulted from the impending blizzard set to move into the area the next day.

This train is headed for the Nixon power plant south of Colorado Springs. It is rare that I see the CSDU train on the Moffat these days. Seems like it always heads to Wyoming for Powder River Basin coal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
