Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific
Most every year, Union Pacific will send an engineering special over a good portion of its system so the brass can see how things are running, check on projects, etc. The train will frequently run over the former Rio Grande, and the summer of 2015 was no exception. The train left Grand Junction at 7am on July 22 and absolutely flew east toward Denver. I got this picture of the train coming through Leyden three minutes before 1pm. After a brief crew change in Denver, the train headed north up the Greeley Sub and stopped in South Morrill, NE for the night.

Building a road! The city of Broomfield is in the process of connecting 120th Avenue and CO-128. Doing so means constructing an underpass beneath BNSF's Front Range Sub. In this shot, you can see that the beginning of the underpass has been dug out leading up to the tracks.

Looking south along the mainline toward the south end of Broomfield, we can see the start of the construction that will take 120th Avenue underneath BNSF's Front Range Sub. Within a year or two, this shot will show the tracks going over a bridge and the road running below.
