The snow is coming down pretty hard on this Wednesday afternoon as an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver slows on the main at Leyden. turns out BNSF's yard in Denver was unable to take the train until later in the evening, so DS-80 contacted the train and asked if they could stop at East Leyden, despite having a clear signal. The engineer was able to comply and got the train stopped.

After stopping for about 15 minutes at Leyden, DS-80 got a signal for this BNSF manifest to continue east through Arvada. The train will have to stop again at C&S Junction to wait for the yard to be ready to take the train.

Headed east on an Approach Diverging signal (yellow over yellow), this Provo-Denver is paralleling Oberon Road and approaching the Carr Street grade crossing in Arvada. This is the first eastbound on the Moffat since yesterday's eastbound California Zephyr, nearly 22 hours ago!

It's been a couple of years since I've seen one of these! A GP60M (now a GP60M-3 after a rebuild) was the third unit on this Provo-Denver. While I do not know for sure, I suspect this unit may have been used in switching either in Grand Junction or Provo. It is likely going to Denver to undergo a 92-day inspection.
