A beautiful Saturday afternoon found a pleasant surprise with UP 1989 leading the MNYRO (North Yard, CO to Roper, UT) manifest west on the Moffat! Here, the train approaches the east switch of Leyden, the Denver skyline rising in the distance.

Even though it is a shot from the shady side of the train, UP 1989 still looks pretty good leading the MNYRO westbound on the main at Leyden.

The MNYRO enters Rocky on a clear signal. UP 1989 leads up the freight and the tail end can be seen still wrapping through Barbara's Gulch. The track to the left is the Rocky Flats Industrial Lead. The once-weekly LDB17 takes cars up the branch on Wednesdays.

UP 1989 leads the MNYRO west out of Rocky. Just a few minutes later and the train will be running down the main at Clay which can be seen in the foreground.

It's great to see UP 1989 on the point of the MNYRO on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Granted the 1989 could use a little bit of a washing, but it still looks good coming through the S-Curve at Blue Mountain!
