Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak
In just a matter of about 40 after departing Denver, Amtrak moves from an urban scene to rural mountains. Here, about 15 minutes after leaving Union Station, the Zephyr is still in the midst of the iron jungle, passing alongside UP's North Yard (to the right) and BNSF's intermodal facility (Rennicks Yard) on the left.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific, Kansas City Southern (ALL)
20 years ago, who would have thought that one day you could find a pair of (very colorful) Kansas City Southern units leading a Union Pacific military special on the former DRGW mainline in North Yard!

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific, BNSF
UP has been leasing seven units from BNSF for over a week now (BNSF is repaying some horsepower-miles). UP has kept all seven units together on the Moffat working on coal trains. Here, the units are set up in a 5x2 configuration on a coal empty waiting to leave the yard later in the afternoon.

Just west (geographically north) of Fox Junction, Amtrak 5 is running on a clear signal. Even though the consist is typical for the Zephyr, it is running with an extra P42DC on this particular morning.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
It is nearly that time again! The Ski Train will soon be running for its weekly Saturday trips over the summer. Why is it only nearly that time when looking at a shot of the Ski Train heading west? On this day, the Ski Train had been privately chartered for a trip to Winter Park and back, so the public won't be starting for another week. Here, the train runs along the west side of Rennicks where a few container frames await an assignment.

A westbound coal empty, led by patched CNW AC4400CW #6716, passes through the new control point, DS004. This control point was added when the new Belt Line Flyover was built. Off to the left, three units sit idling awaiting to be added to the point of a westbound coal empty coming west from UP's Limon Subdivision.
