A very unusual site on the Moffat these days, a westbound contain train leaves Leyden, starting the climb up the hill. The train was called for 10:30am, but it took 5 1/2 hours before it finally departed North Yard.

A special train consisting entirely of containers makes for a rare site on the Moffat on the last day of May. The train started in Pratt, KS and is headed for Port Chicago, CA (in the San Francisco area). UP decided to route it over the Moffat instead of up and on the Overland.

A trio of unit are the power for this westbound container train at Crescent. This is actually a military move, as those containers contain military equipment. UP routed the special over the Moffat. It is headed for the San Francisco area.

The Moffat does not get much intermodal action these days...and hasn't in over 15 years now. However, an exception was may on the last day of May as a single stacked container train heads west on the Moffat at Crescent.

Many of the tunnels on the Moffat are not tall enough to support double stack intermodal trains. As a result, it is highly uncommon to find containers running on the Moffat. That said, a single stack intermodal train went west on the Moffat on this day! Well cars with containers roll past some "stick track" at Crescent.

A few empty well cars on the tail end of a single stacked intermodal train roll away from the camera on the main track at Crescent. The (unusual) train is headed for California.
