Moffat Tunnel (UP) CSX
A CSX AC4400CW brings up the tail end of the Provo-Denver. The paint is looking very clean and sharp on the unit. A very quick way to identify this as a unit with AC traction motors is to look on the cab. The lightning bolt beneath the number indicates this is an AC unit. This particular unit went west of the Moffat a few days ago as DPU on the tail end of a loaded coal train headed for Valmy, NV.

The Zephyr is about to knock down an Approach Diverging (yellow over yellow) signal at C&S Junction. The train will continue west on Main 2, and then proceed through the diverging route (Main 2 to the Main) at Arvada.

The westbound Zephyr got stuck at Union Station for over four hours this morning due to a motive power issue. When it arrived, AMTK 816 had been leading. Before it could depart west, AMTK 816 had to be swapped with AMTK 63. Without knowing for certain, the speculation is that there was a problem with the HEP (Head End Power) with AMTK 63, so it had to be swapped with AMTK 816, allowing AMTK 816 to become the unit providing power to the train. In any case, the train is on the move and crossing over Clear Creek on Main 2 in the OS at C&S Junction.
