Is this 2018 or 2008!? It just so happened that two empties got recrewed at nearly the same time on Bypass 1 and 2 in Denver. The first train to depart was headed for the North Fork Branch. This empty is headed for the Craig Branch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

More often than not, it also seems that the P42s are elephant style on the Zephyr. That's not always the case, but that's the way Amtrak tends to have them setup.

The train should have a straight shot through to Grand Junction with minimal delays as there isn't much rolling on the Moffat on this first day of winter.

Photo ID: 106899 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, December 21, 2017 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Leyden Arvada, CO 1365 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak The westbound Zephyr is running about 90 minutes late as it heads west out of Leyden. The train left Denver Union Station on time, but had two delays in the first seven miles of its trip west, neither being Amtrak's fault. The first problem was a Union Pacific freight train stuck in emergency at Utah Junction (on the diamond leading to the Belt). Took an hour for that train to get out of Amtrak's way. The second delay came in Arvada when the crew on the train contacted the dispatcher and requested police! Turns out there was a domestic dispute between a man and a woman and the woman needed to be removed from the train and taken in to custody.

The MNYRO is around 2pm or 3pm and, during winter, typically does not depart Denver until after dark. So what is this guy? This is the "Phippsburg Local". The symbol is the MNYPHX and it is headed for the Craig Branch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Hard to tell if the BNSF train was behind the UP train for the entire trip. One or both may have stopped to switch in Grand Junction. The MRONY also had to wait for a recrew at Bond.
