At the west switch of Leyden, the MNYRO is backing into the clear in the siding to allow Amtrak to continue west. The MNYRO kept losing communication with its tail end DPU units, causing the train to go into emergency. These problems took so much time, that the crew on board will actually get relieved right here at Leyden! A new crew will bring out a new unit to put on the head end to resolve the communication issues.

After losing communication with these two DPU units, the MNYRO went into emergency west of Leyden. After an hour of checking, the crew is now backing the track down the mainline and into the siding at Leyden. The train is about to cross over Indiana Avenue.

The westbound California Zephyr got into Denver 2 hours and 42 minutes late due to bad weather in the midwest. Unfortunately, it only got 13 miles west of Union Station before betting stopped for another 90 minutes! The Zephyr is stopped here on the mainline at Leyden due to the MNYRO going into emergency ahead of it. The crew on the MNYRO worked to back the train into the siding at Leyden to clear up for Amtrak.

Just west of the west switch of Leyden, UP 1989 crosses over Indiana Street on one of the few-remaining "Rio Grande" lettered bridges. The nearly full moon is high in the sky, looking down on the train.
