After the coal train is clear, the Winter Park Express will back out the east end and then proceed west on the main track, around a BNSF manifest that is out of view toward the west end of the siding.

Photo ID: 113494 Date Shot Photo By Friday, January 23, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (7,020ft) Arvada, CO 70 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Following roughly an hour behind a westbound coal empty, the westbound Zephyr is making track speed as it kicks up a bit of fresh fallen snow dust at Leyden. Something else of note...if you look closely at the west house track switch on the siding, you'll note a chunk of track missing. UP took the west switch of the track out of service years ago. They removed the frog and spiked the switch. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113493 Date Shot Photo By Friday, January 23, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Plain (6,530 ft) Jefferson County, CO 85 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Some snow is coming down here at Plain as a westbound coal empty passes by a few pieces of maintenance equipment in the house track. The elevation here at Plain is right around 6,800 feet (around 2,075 meters) above sea level. 1,000 feet of elevation makes a pretty big different in snowfall here.

Photo ID: 113478 Date Shot Photo By Friday, December 19, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North Yard Denver, CO 65 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Yard Shots Union Pacific A UP yard crewman just started up the prime mover in SD40-2 #1957. It is taking several minutes for the unit to fully warm up and, as a result, a lot of white exhaust is currently being produced. Also of note in this shot in UP 1019, a GP60. For whatever reason, UP seems to utilize GP60s in California and Texas quite a bit. They don't show up in Colorado all that often.

This unit was originally a C44-9W, but UP rebuilt and converted it from DC traction motors to AC traction motors. The unit also sports UP's newest paint scheme.

Many of them, including dozens of SD70Ms, are currently stored at 36th Street Yard in Denver. The units are waiting for one of three things. To just be reactivated and put back in service, to be rebuilt and put back in service, or be sold. Until one of those three things happens, here they will sit quietly and wait.

Union Pacific has opted for three mid-train helper about two thirds of the way through the train. The first DPU, UP 7000, was originally GECX 4000 and was a warranty protection unit, built in 1997. It was subsequently bought by UP and added to the roster as UP 7000. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is making track speed on the trip south, making it very hard to catch up to for subsequent shots. Turns out this would be the last shot in daylight before the sun would set anyway.
