The local has been getting a late start the last few weeks. It hasn't been getting out of North Yard until mid-to-late afternoon.

So, since there was little light to begin with, I went for a long exposure to get a bit of blurring effect on the empty hoppers of this westbound coal train. The train is crossing Simms Street in Arvada. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 102190 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, July 3, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 11 Arvada, CO 2077 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak The westbound California Zephyr has been running with a very good on-time performance out of Denver through most of June and into July. Of course, that is due to the fact that the Zephyr has not been running between Chicago and Denver as a result of the flooding in the mid-west! Here, the Zephyr is approaching the east switch of Leyden on a clear signal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train departed from Roper, UT - the western end of the former Rio Grande - about 39 hours earlier. An all-EMD consist (including an SD70M, an SD70ACe and an SD60) lead the train on its final eight miles. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such was the case on this Sunday morning though, as UP 6406 (ex-SP 360) leads a coal load east out of Leyden after meeting three westbounds. Interestingly, the train is actually headed for the power plant in Cañon City on the eastern end of Tennessee Pass! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Road work along West 72nd Avenue required Amtrak to slow a bit through the crossing. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The westbound California Zephyr is running about 8 hours late as it approaches the east switch of Leyden shortly after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The train was stopped for hours while running on BNSF's Ottumwa Subdivision near Woodburn, IA. Water levels had risen over the rails, causing the delay.

Photo ID: 101502 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, August 9, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 11 Arvada, CO 1795 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BN I had heard on the scanner on the drive home from Boulder that BN 9690 would be leading a train west, but it hadn't appeared west of Denver yet. I knew BN 9690 was an SD70MAC, and I was hoping that the train might be a coal empty. Unfortunately, the train turned out to be the Pueblo to Provo manifest...even so, when was the last time you remember an unpatched (green and cream) BN unit on the Moffat? After BN 9690 was BNSF 5950 (ES44AC) and BNSF 630, a former ATSF (Warbonnet) C44-9W. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
