Photo ID: 101795 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, December 12, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (DS013) Arvada, CO 1654 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific The crew for this coal empty (the CPASM-06) were called at 2am for the train. Six hours later, the train is sitting at Leyden (due to a pulled draw bar on the MNYGJ a few miles ahead). The crew ended up dying right here, rolling a total of about 9 miles over 12 hours!

Due to problems with the MNYGJ, Amtrak 5 almost went via Wyoming. In fact, it had already departed the station headed for the Greeley Sub when the word came down that they should run west. For the first time in history (as far as I know), Amtrak ran via the Belt to get to the Moffat! Here it is, running about 30 minutes late, at east Leyden.

It is clear, but it is only 20 degrees outside. The icicles hanging down from the anti-climber are starting to melt away! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Four SD70Ms split in the middle by a C44-9W, running elephant style. A fair amount of snow is being kicked up as the train has a clear signal at east Leyden.

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.

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.
