The train is the MBOPH, essentially a local that shuttles cars between Phippsburg and Bond. The train usually heads up the Craig Branch on Sundays. However, there are no rested crews available today, so the train will sit until one is available. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113361 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 16, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS129 (Bond) Eagle County, CO 50 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF At the crossover at Center Bond, also known as Orestod, two ES44ACs bring up the tail end of a westbound Denver-Provo manifest. It is here at Orestod, which, incidentally, is Dotsero spelled backward, the Craig Branch leaving the mainline. 100 years ago, the Craig Branch was the mainline! It wasn't until the Dotsero Cutoff was built that everything changed, creating a direct route west through the Rockies between Denver and Salt Lake City.
