You gotta love that in 2009, you can still get a Rio Grande lettered engine crossing over a Rio Grande lettered bridge! UP 1989 is a mid-train swing helper on an eastbound coal load crossing over Indiana Street.

At the west switch of Leyden, the Ski Train makes its way west about a half hour after sunrise. The train had to run through the siding as a coal load was waiting on the main track.

It is a beautiful Thursday morning in as the westbound California Zephyr leaves Leyden behind. The dark patch on the slope is the result of a fire started by the West Local about ten days earlier.
