Photo ID: 100177 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, May 29, 2003 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden Arvada, CO 2264 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Rio Grande, BNSF These units wear the paint schemes of two of my favorite railroads. The first, obviously, is Rio Grande. However, I have always like Santa Fe, particularly the blue and yellow scheme. Although this Santa Fe SD40-2 has been patched BNSF, it still looks good. The Rio Grande GP40-2 is the lead unit on the eastbound Rocky Local, and the Santa Fe SD40-2 is the third unit on a empty BNSF coal train bound for the Wildcat coal mine in Utah on the Utah Railway.

On my way home from work, with the sun getting low in the western sky, I stopped at Leyden to take a picture of a westbound. As it turned out, UP was moving an amazing thirteen engines (light) west to Grand Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 100061 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, July 17, 2002 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden Arvada, CO 1304 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific A single SD45T-2R (although UP considers it an SD40-2T) leads up a work train on the siding at Leyden. This particular unit was originally an SD40T-2 that was rebuilt by SP into an SD45T-2R. It was then rebuilt yet again to SD40-2 specifications. In its history, this unit was originally SP 9209, then turned to SP 6832 when it was rebuilt. After the merger, it was changed to UP 4815, and finally turned to UP 2847 on September 28, 2001, to make room for the SD70Ms. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When the power pool in Grand Junction is running a little low, UP will sometimes send "light" power west out of Denver. Here, eleven units (each no less than 4390 HP) head west out of Leyden.

It will had a complete light package and the horn was located above the cab, not the long hood. Unfortunately, this picture was taken about six month before 5355 was repainted in armor yellow. When it was repainted, the MARS and class lights were removed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
