The train departed North Yard just after 9:30am and is set to run all the way to Helper today. In the background, you can see a handful of gondolas sitting on the siding at Eisele (Clay), dropped off by a single AC4400CW yesterday.

Photo ID: 108411 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, July 28, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Big Ten Curve (MP 19.5 to MP 20.2) Arvada, CO 793 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific UP picked out a good looking SD70M to lead a ten car passenger special west on the Moffat. The train is heading for Helper, UT today. The exact purpose of the train...including precisely who is on board...is a mystery. Could just be the engineering department checking out the line, as happens from time to time. Some folks with more of a conspiracy theorist attitude might believe that a perspective buyer (or long-term leaser) is riding the train to check out the former Grande.
