An empty oil train, headed for Wash, UT in order to load, charges west at Leyden. The power on the train was quite a delightful surprise! A pair of Kansas City Southern units - the sole power on the train - take it west. Even though the train is empty, the two units are working hard to keep the train moving.

It isn't all that often that a Kansas City Southern unit shows up on the Moffat. It is even less often that they are the sole power on a train! However, that was the case on this Monday morning as a gray KCSM (Kansas City Southern de Mexico) AC4400CW and a Retro-Belle SD70MAC lead an empty oil train out the west end of Leyden on a clear signal.

An eastbound BNSF manifest (Provo to Denver trackage rights train) sits in the siding at Leyden. The train just met an empty oil train, but will continue to hold here at Leyden as BNSF's 31st Street Yard does not have an open track for the train just yet. The two units seen here are the tail end DPU units for the train.
