Running right on time, Amtrak 5 highballs Leyden on its journey west out of Denver. Even this late into the season, some of the trees still have leaves trackside. The two P42's on the point are wearing Amtrak's Phase V paint scheme, and all the cars are wearing the Phase IV scheme.

Over the past few years, UP has slowly been replacing the signals along the former Grande. That means that the old D&SL signals are becoming more and more rare. New UP signals have been installed at west Leyden, although they have not yet been activated yet. Time grows short for the old D&SL signals!

I NEVER thought I would again see the day when SEVEN geeps could be found on the point of a train. It happen on this day though, when the Rocky Local was powered by three Espee GP40(M)-2s, three Grande GP40-2's, and a UP GP39-2. Black and white just seemed right for this picture, as it looks like it could have come straight out of the early 1980's!!!

Each winter, UP stores its business cars in Oakland, CA. In the spring, the cars ar taken back to Council Bluffs, IA. In the spring of 2005, UP decided to run the train over the former Grande from Salt Lake City to Denver. Here, the train passes through Leyden close to sunset. Two Phase II SD70M's (UP 3963 and UP 5226) led the train.

A very rare appearance not only on the Moffat Tunnel Sub, but also in the year 2005! An eastbound BNSF grain train was stopped in the siding at Leyden with five units, none of which were wearing the Heritage II paint scheme! Two H1's and THREE warbonnets, one of which was a GP60M.

The reflection of the UP shield from UP 7283 floats next to the signal. This picture used a flash and was taken on ISO 100 for a 30 second exposure with an aperture of f/8.
