BNSF 5826 knocks down the signal at CP DS007 at Arvada as it continues east, moving from the main track to Main 1. The switch here at Arvada is a high speed switch. It actually has to switch motors as it has a moveable point frog. Rather than a solid chunk of steel, the frog point moves similar to a switch point. The oil train here is taking the non-diverging route.

As we get closer to spring (and then summer), the days are starting to get longer. Here, not long before noon, this eastbound BNSF oil train is heading almost directly into the sun as it slows to a stop on the main track at Eisele (Clay). It is waiting on a westbound UP oil empty that will take the siding. There is a BNSF manifest tied down on the siding at Rocky, so the meet had to be here instead.
