Photo ID: 103957 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, September 18, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 102 Kremmling, CO 1584 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific It was nice to find this little gem on the westbound MNYGJ! The GP30 and the GP60 are my two favorite geeps. I really like the square dynamic brake intakes on the GP60. This particular GP60 was SP 9729 until June 22nd, 1998 when it became UP 5828. It held that number until July 3, 2001 when it moved to UP 2028. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Maintenance has some time in Gore Canyon to check out some slide fences. So, the train will have to sit patiently at a double red signal until maintenance can clear up.

The train met a westbound at Leyden and is now headed for North Yard for a crew change. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

During the winter months, the Zephyr often runs with only seven Superliners west of Denver due to a decrease demand in ridership.

Photo ID: 103072 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, August 15, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 10 Arvada, CO 1703 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF BNSF's daily trackage rights manifest, which runs from Denver, CO to Provo, UT, is making its way west on the Moffat. The train has just crossed Kipling Street (back at the red intermediate) and is approaching 72nd Avenue. Note the sign that says "X" and "QZ". The "X" indicates to the crew that a grade crossing is approaching. The "QZ" indicates that the crossing is a "Quiet Zone", and that the horn should not be used (unless somebody is actually on the tracks).

I don't think we are quite there yet, but seeing an SD40-2 on a mainline freight is absolutely becoming an extremely rare sight! This SD40-2 was the last unit on the MRONY.

This is an SD70I, which is like the SD70M, but with an EMD WhisperCab. Only 26 units were produced and all went to Canadian National. Not a bad catch for the middle of Colorado!

Why? About 90 seconds before the train showed up, this who spot was covered in glorious afternoon light! Then, a big fat cloud! Oh well...this is BNSF's Denver-Provo manifest headed west. Note the grade crossing sign along the side of the track: "X/QZ" -- The "QZ" represents "Quite Zone". Trains do not use their horns at Kipling.

But that's okay as the shot turned out quite nice! The rail isn't quite visible beneath the freshly fallen snow just east of 72nd Avenue in Arvada as the Ski Train makes its was east.
