In this shot, the MNYGJ is heading west on the existing Main (future Main 1) as a tamper sits on future Main 2. BNSF's Golden Sub is on the right side of the picture. You can also see the new signals (turned to the side and not yet activated) for C&S Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 104087 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 26, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS013 (West Leyden) Arvada, CO 1806 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific At the west switch of Leyden, an eastbound (empty) ballast train enters the siding. It was so fantastic seeing a trio of SD70Ms...my personal favorite model EMD has released since the SD40-2. This particular ballast train came from the area around Tunnel, CO (near Grand Junction) and is headed for Cheyenne, probably for a refill!

Photo ID: 104088 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 26, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS013 (West Leyden) Arvada, CO 1667 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific The MNYGJ on the main was originally set to go west at Leyden but DS-86 asked if they could stop before reaching the west signal at Leyden. The crew said they could and DS-86 took the signal down. Slide fences was the reason for doing so. Slide fences had DS-82's territory a bit messed up so a few eastbounds needed to run before the manifest could continue west.

Photo ID: 104095 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 26, 2012 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Chemical (MP 14.5) Arvada, CO 1510 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific It has been a busy morning on the Moffat and this is the fourth train to leave Denver in the past two hours! This particular coal empty went into to North Yard instead of running through one of the bypass tracks. This was likely done either because it was having power issues or the power arrangement needed to be changed. The train started in Cook, IL and is headed for the Bowie Mine on the North Fork Branch.

If your first reaction is "only one", look again!
