After a crystal clear day in the Denver area yesterday, today starts off a bit different as a layer of clouds blocks the sun on a somewhat chilly December morning.

The westbound Zephyr passes through Arvada, a suburb of northwest Denver. The train is approaching the grade crossing at Kipling Street and the intermediate signal at MP 9.8.

Seeing how these old signals are quickly on their way out, I wanted to make sure I got a shot of them before they inevitably disappear. In the pre-UP era, that lower target on the signal on the right would display a lunar aspect, indicating a grade (restricting) signal. Today, the yellow G-Plate has been added (indicating a grade signal), and the lower target displays yellow, for a yellow-over-yellow aspect, if a train is going in the hole at Leyden (Approach Diverging).

I'm always trying to look for new and different locations to shoot at. This one came to mind this afternoon! The eastbound coal load is crossing over Kipling Street just miles away from North Yard. Note the classic Rio Grande signals - some of the last between Denver and East Portal - on either side of the track.
