Photo ID: 102099 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 24, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky (DS016) Arvada, CO 1741 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF At the east switch of Rocky, a trio of BNSF units are in command of this westbound Denver to Provo trackage rights train. Meanwhile, a UP ballast train (symboled WDVDVB-23) sits tied down on the Rocky Flats Industrial Lead. The ballast train has been dropping new ballast along the main. In fact, a bit of new ballast is barely visible along the rails at the base of the hoppers. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

If you look closely, you can see the tail end of an eastbound MRONY holding the main at Clay! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train will be meeting an eastbound manifest (the MRONY-04) at Clay. The manifest is holding the main, but does not fit between switches. The Ski Train will run through the siding, waiting for the manifest to clear, and then continue west. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Those with a keen eye might note something different about the Ski Train on this evening...the private cars are at the front of the train! This would be because the train was unable to wye (turn around) at Tabernash. So, the power ran around the train and essentially ran down the mountain "backward".

It took the train almost twelve hours to get from the Moffat Tunnel to Rocky! The primary reason was due to the MNYGJ, which broke a draw bar early in the morning. The other reason is that, well, baretables are just about the lowest priority train on the railroad! Note the last unit on an eastbound coal load coming through Clay is just barely visible in the upper left corner of the shot.

A baretable intermodal (the IOADVR) came from Oakland, CA running through the Utah desert and over the Moffat. Here, the train waits for the West Local while sitting in the hole at Rocky.

Not only are these three BNSF ES44DC's just about as new as you can get, but they are also running in sequential numeric sequence (BNSF 7548, 7549, 7550). They are on the point of the MSTDVJ headed for Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Well, yes, although it is not quite wearing the proper colors…twenty years ago, who would have imaged a train on the Moffat that included a Kansas City Southern T-2 in the consist? Such was the case on this morning as the eastbound Provo to Denver heads east out of Rocky while a train they just met heads west around Big Ten in the background.

The Kansas was at Burnham being repainted. By January 14th, the paint job had been completed and the car was back in service looking very sharp!
