Just west of Leyden, a westbound light power move is on the roll. These moves are fairly common on the Moffat, typically running a couple times each week. Nine of the twelve units here will be dropped off in Glenwood Springs to be used as mid-train swing helpers on eastbound coal loads coming from the North Fork Branch. The remaining three units will continue on to Grand Junction.

At east Plain, this westbound light power move enters the siding as a snow storm starts to move in from over the Rockies. The power will have to hold for a few hours at the west end of Plain for some maintenance, the Zephyr and a coal load.

Twelve units make their way west (geographically north) at Plain. The tracks, from left to right, are the main, the siding and the house track. Even though it is Spring, don't let that fool you in Colorado! March is the snowiest month for the Centennial state.

It's twenty minutes past sunset and overcast as BNSF's Denver to Provo trackage rights train heads west out of town. Considering I didn't have a tripod with me, I was pretty pleased with the way this extreme low light shot turned out! What do you think?
