Although most of the sky is overcast, there is enough of a gap to the west to allow for some nice silhouette lighting to sneak through.

The train was symboled QDVLJ and QLJDV. It was very common for this train to run with GP30s, GP35s and GP39-2s. Some twenty years later, it was a nice surprise to find a GP30 and a GP35 - both wearing the Yellow Bonnet - heading to town from the Golden Spur.

So, in Denver, a third P42DC (which is kept in Denver as a spare for just such situations) was added to the train. The Zephyr is coming around on the North Yard siding on the approach to Pecos Street and the Pecos Crossover. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At Utah Junction, the train will stop and meet Amtrak 5. Amtrak will take the North Yard siding from Utah Junction west to C&S Junction. Then, this train will head down the main to Fox Junction and cross over to its own tracks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The lead unit - A C44-9W - sports the Heritage 2 scheme. This is still the most dominate BNSF scheme on the railroad. Next up is a second C44-9W, but this units wears the original Heritage scheme. Last but not least is an ES44DC with the New Image scheme. The train is at milepost 4.25 on the Moffat Tunnel Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is the MAKRPVO - the Akron to Provo manifest. First time I had ever heard of this particular train on the Moffat. Sometimes, BNSF will stage trains outside major yards and use the staging location as the originating terminal in the train symbol. I suspect that may have been the case here.

The coal train, on Bypass 2, is approaching the grade crossing at Pecos, no doubt preparing to frustrate dozens of drivers on Pecos as the crossing is blocked!

The last few years, the special move (designated the SOACB) has come over the Grande rather than the Overland. UP didn't exactly pick the most pristine power for the trip, with a faded UP shield on the front of UP 4784. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
