The Rocky Local, which runs west out of Denver on Tuesday's and Thursday's, is backing down the Rocky Spur toward the mainline. For many months, UP GP60s 1900 and 1901 (formerly Rio Grande 3154 and 3155) have worked the Rocky Local with a Rio Grande GP40-2 spliced in between. On this day, DRGW 3100 gets the duty.

C30-7's on the Moffat!? Yep, it happened for a very short time between the fall of 1997 and the deactivation of most of the C30-7's in 1998 and 1999. This was also before BNSF started using DPU on its westbound manifests on the Moffat. Manned helpers would push the train up the hill to East Portal where they would cut off and return to Denver. Here, C30-7 5047 leads the way back to town just east of Rocky.
