At the east switch of Mesa, a grain train has a track warrant to continue toward the eastern plains of Colorado. Signs that summer is over are very apparent as the temperature is a chilly 25 degrees!

Whoops! That's gonna leave a mark. The handbrake on this covered hopper failed to get set. The hopper was on the BNSF Golden Branch (that leads to Coors) and ended up rolling east down the line! It was going roughly 45 MPH when it hit the switch at C&S Junction and derailed. What looks like snow in the foreground are actually little plastic (non-toxic) beads, which the hopper was carrying.

A couple of trees frame the shot of this eastbound coal load which is slowly picking up speed as it moves through Arvada. The train met a westbound at Leyden and is now headed for North Yard for a crew change.

Definitely not the best picture in the world (even as far as roster shots go), but you'll probably see why I included it right away! This is the first red and white number board that I've seen on a UP unit...
