Photo ID: 108354 Date Shot Photo By Monday, July 13, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Rocky (7,330ft) Arvada, CO 726 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF The two largest railroads both in the western United States and the United States as a whole. BNSF exercises their trackage rights on the Moffat with a BNSF Denver-Provo manifest which is passing by a loaded UP rail train that is holding on the main. The Denver-Provo is a "key train" today, meaning it is restricted to a maximum speed on the main and restricted to 10 MPH when in the siding and meeting or passing trains. So it is creeping along west here amid an afternoon July storm out on the plains. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
