Here is a train that does not run all too often! This is a unit potash train that originated on the Cane Creek Sub in Utah. It is headed for the Hull Avenue Yard in St Paul, MN. The train is taking the siding at Leyden for a meet with the westbound Zephyr.

An eastbound slows in the siding at Leyden past the remnants of the Leyden Depot. Decades ago, when trains were still the premier form of transportation, many trains running west on the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad would make a station stop here at Leyden.

As trains approach the east end of Leyden, the speed limit changes to 45 MPH (on the main). This eastbound in the siding is moving along at less than 10 MPH as it approaches a red signal at the east end of the siding.
