Yet that was the case on this morning as the MRONY was setup to run in a 7x(0)x1 configuration. Here, the train is approaching the west switch of Leyden.

It departs from either yard on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's. More often than not, it is dark when the train makes it to Colorado. On this Tuesday, however, the train happened to come east in the morning. And with an interesting power configuration to boot! Loved the five SD70s (two SD70ACes and two SD70Ms) leading the train.

Don't usually get the chance to shoot from the north side of the tracks at Leyden, but the cloudy day presented a nice opportunity to do so.

However, CN still identifies the former IC units on its roster. This C40-8W is one of only 42 such units Illinois Central had. Although it now wears standard Canadian National colors, a small "IC" is painted on the cab, indicating the heritage of the unit.

Photo ID: 107070 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, January 30, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 1105 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific This empty rail train departed Provo, UT a day earlier. It came off the LA&SL (via UP's Sharp Sub) and the came east over the Grande. I did not think I was going to get any shots of it because it didn't leave Bond until 12:40pm. This time of year, I figured there was no chance it would reach the Front Range before sunset. But with green signals the entire trip, it made amazing time and was at Leyden by 5pm!

A rare visitor to Colorado, this was original a (standard cab) SD60 that Norfolk Southern rebuilt at its Altoona, PA shops. In addition to adding a wide cab, the unit received some electrical upgrades as well. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train has actually been here for about five hours. BNSF had "no room at the inn", holding the train out here at Leyden until some space could be made. A new crew is onboard now, but DS-86 will get the eastbound Zephyr around the train before getting it a light to continue east.
