Photo ID: 105695 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, January 6, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS013 (West Leyden) Arvada, CO 1592 (3 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF About five minutes prior to the arrival of this Denver-Provo, the sun ducked behind the clouds of a building storm to the west. An old (relatively speaking) C44-9W leads BNSFs trackage rights manifest west out of leyden, crossing over Indiana Street. The bridge is still lettered "Rio Grande"! At some point in the future, Arvada plans to widen Indiana Street to four lanes, at which point the bridge will be replaced.

The train is taking the siding at Plain, but the dispatcher could not get the signal at East Plain to set up. So, after stopping at the red signal, DS-82 will flag the train in to the siding.

The crew on this train is based out of Grand Junction. This is a recent change on BNSF as they eliminated the crew change point in Kremmling. Grand Junction crews now take eastbounds as close to Denver as possible. If they don't make it, a van comes and picks them up and a Denver crew takes the train the rest of the way in. Then, the Grand Junction crew (after staying the night in Denver) takes a westbound back to Grand Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train will wait for the eastbound Zephyr, which is running on time. By the time the Zephyr arrived, it was too dark to get any shots. A few more weeks or so and that will no longer be the case!
