Two ES44ACs and an SD70ACe lead the Provo-Denver through western Arvada on a beautiful, clear, warm late May morning. The train will get to Arvada just ahead of the Zephyr, not delaying the Zephyr on its journey west at all.

I do not generally post pictures of graffiti on railcars, but for whatever reason, the "Men In Black" on this steel coil car made me laugh, so I grabbed a quick shot of it. The car is on the BNSF's Provo-Denver manifest.

Ferromex is one of the two largest railroads in Mexico. Not too long ago, Ferromex unveiled a new paint scheme that focuses on gray. The old scheme had green in it, which is essentially been dropped in this new scheme. Prior to this shot, I had not seen one in person. This one was helping out as a DPU on an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver manifest.

The westbound Zephyr charges west on the main at Leyden. It's nice to see that the siding at Leyden is once again empty and available for meets after a string of empty well cars were stored there for close to five months! Well cars were tied down there early on the morning of January 3, 2024. Overnight on May 27, 2024, they were picked up and taken back to Denver.

AMTK 71 leads another P42DC and a standard consist for the Zephyr out of the west end of Leyden. The train is crossing over Indiana Street, the busiest north-south road in Western Arvada.
