Photo ID: 101969 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 6, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rollins Rollinsville, CO 1907 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific A short MNYPH-06 - about 40 cars - heads west on the main at Rollins with a relatively new (less that two years old) ES44AC on the point for power. To the right, the CBRNKH-03 is tied down in the siding. The bosses in Omaha decided westbounds should rule the day and were fleeting west, causing eastbounds to get tied down at Rollins and Cliff.

This is (and has been) a pretty typical consist for Amtrak for the past several years: Two P42s, a baggage car, three sleepers, a diner, a sightseer and three coaches.

Rollins has been confused with Rawlins, WY in the past. A Renzenberger driver from Cheyenne was supposed to take a relief crew to Rollins late one night. When the crew woke up, they were approaching Rawlins, WY on I-80! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 101109 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, December 10, 2006 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rollins Rollinsville, CO 2057 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific About a month ago now, UP discontinued the MNYRO (North Yard to Roper manifest) in favor of the MNYPV (North Yard to Provo manifest). Rio Grande's old Provo Yard is reportedly getting a lot of action now. The manifest will go to Provo, and then any cars headed for Roper will be forwarded on the MPVRO (Provo to Roper manifest). I was happy to find three SD70M's on the point...my personal favorite unit since the SD40(T)-2. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

A full moon offers some illumination on the side of the control box. The green signal is for an eastbound MPVNY which is on the approach to Tolland.

I'm obviously bias toward EMD's because that's all the Grande ever owned, but there's just something about the hum of the turbocharger! Here, three SD70M's lead the MRONY-21 toward the west switch of Rollins on a clear signal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
