Two days later, CSX 1981 is once again leading on the Moffat! This time, it and a sister CSX unit lead half of that 11,500-foot coal train east across Kipling Street in Arvada. Longs Peak, one of the 14ers (mountain peaks that exceed 14,000-feet in elevation) is clearly visible in the distance to the right.

CSX 1981 is the Pan Am Railways heritage unit. Pan Am Railways was a New England railroad purchased by CSX in 2022. After arriving in Denver, the mid-train swing helpers will be cut out, and the train will continue east on the Limon Sub. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Coal trains have increased slightly on the Moffat in the past few months. It seems that UP has picked up a few new contracts for West Elk coal from the North Fork branch.

Photo ID: 113602 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, March 25, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Arvada to Leyden (MP 7.5 to MP 11.9) Arvada, CO 22 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific A C44ACM, sporting some fresh paint in UP's latest scheme, and a Tier-4 SD70ACe-T4, bring up the tail end of an eastbound coal train. The train is running 2x3x2. Traditionally, coal load have run 2x3x1, so there is one extra unit on the tail end. Not sure if one will be removed in Denver along with the mid-train swing helpers. The two DPUs here are passing by Oberon Lake Number 1 in the midst of the suburb of Arvada. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
