UP's daily MNYRO (North Yard to Roper) has a clear signal at the east end of Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 102427 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 9, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (DS012) Arvada, CO 1948 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific After meeting a pair of westbounds, this eastbound coal load is departing the siding at Leyden. Due to problems encountered in the past, it is rather rare to find a pair of SD9043MACs on the point of a coal train. However, I was pleased to catch such an occurrence on this day! Note the polls that UP has erected (along with a gate off to the left of the frame), preventing cars from driving along the Leyden access road.

The train is cutting out a bad order car at which time it will proceed north up the Front Range Sub. The second unit is a former ATSF SD75M, now wearing the Heritage 2 scheme.

A relatively new BNSF SD70ACe was hanging around on load to UP. Not long after this picture, the unit headed north and then west toward Green River, WY.

The switch to the Kountry Line is located off the Joint Line about 3 miles south of 20th Street. Here, the crew ties down the local and prepares to wait for a ride. The next day, a new crew will work the local on the branch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 102431 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 9, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Burnham Denver, CO 1641 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific Need an engine? UP has a few of them available in storage at Burnham (in Denver). The units tend to be older and most have been sitting in Burnham for at least a year. There are many C40-8Ws here and there is a string of SD90MACs in the distance. There units are the true 6000 HP units developed in the late 1990's. It is unlikely they will ever see service on UP rails again. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Sand is probably the single largest commodity moved up to Craig via rail. A trio of AC4400CWs leads the train west at Blue Mountain.

However, you won't find anybody in the cab of UP 712. This is a remote switch job and the RCL operator is on the ground at the opposite end of the string of cars, throwing switches.
