Not long after sunrise, the westbound MNYPV is on the roll west of Leyden. The train is being led by an SD70M, an SD70, and three AC4400CWs. The lead unit was having some issues and the train stopped momentarily at Leyden. You can see the lead unit is still smoking a bit more than the rest.

An interesting thing about a shot like this...you can't really tell for sure whether or not the paint schemes match! As it turns out, they don't. On two of the five units is armour yellow (the first and third). Second unit is a standard cab NS SD70 and that last two units are both (patched) Espees. The train is climbing out of the Denver-Metro area (seen in the distance in the haze), just west of Leyden.

It is going to be a busy morning on the Moffat! Already there is an eastbound approaching the Moffat Tunnel, a westbound at Rollins, a westbound at Crescent, an eastbound at Clay, this westbound near Leyden, plus Amtrak and a coal empty that have yet to depart Denver! The MNYPV has a flashing yellow at Chemical and will go into Rocky for the first of several meets on the day.
