Photo ID: 110069 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, January 9, 2024 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Carr Street (MP 8.37) Arvada, CO 275 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad 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.
