I got a heads up from a friend that BNSF's Denver to Provo manifest would be running west with a CREX-leased ES44AC on the point! These leasors showed up on BNSF in 2014 when the railroad was experiencing a power shortage. The train just met the West Local at CP DS007 and is now headed west toward Leyden where it will meet its counterpart and the eastbound California Zephyr.

The train will take Main 2 at CP DS007 and wait on Main 2 between Arvada and C&S Junction for the eastbound California Zephyr to pass it on Main 1. This is the first BNSF train I've seen in awhile that had an all-Heritage 2 consist! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 105466 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, August 12, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS012 (East Leyden) Arvada, CO 1599 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak Afternoon clouds are moving in and blocking the sun as the eastbound California Zephyr departs the siding at Leyden eastbound. A westbound BNSF manifest was holding the main at Leyden, forcing the Zephyr to run through the siding. The train is running close to on time and hopefully its stop in Denver will not change that.
