So, even though this eastbound is between switches, you cannot see the siding as it is quite a distance away, behind the camera.

Photo ID: 114059 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, July 19, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS067 (West Tabernash) Grand County, CO 34 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) BNSF This eastbound oil train knocked down a yellow (approach) signal at the west end of Tabernash. The train will hold the main to allow the Canyon Spirit to run around it. The Canyon Spirit will run through the siding. Most of the time, the train that arrives first takes the siding. However, Tabernash is a bit unique as there is a grade crossing on the siding, but not on the main. Consequently, the first train to arrive typically holds the main at Tabernash.

The speed limit has increased a bit, so the increase in the throttle will get the train up to track speed. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The trailing SD70ACe is kicking doing a slight 1970s GE impersonation, with visible exhaust kicking up. The train is between Flat and Byers Canyon.

Photo ID: 114036 Date Shot Photo By Monday, July 13, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Utah Junction Denver, CO 34 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Front Range (BNSF) CSX, BNSF Like all the Class 1 Railroads (except for BNSF), CSX has several heritage units. The CSX units do not make it to Denver very often, so I was glad I had the chance to capture the P&LE (Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad). The P&LE was under the control of New York Central (and later Penn Central) until 1970 when Penn Central declared bankruptcy. CSX ultimately purchased the P&LE in the early 1990s, leading to the eventual creation of the 15th CSX heritage unit, painted at the Waycross shops in 2024.

Or, at a minimum, was recently repainted. The "Dark Future" on this CSX unit looks darn near pristine as the fourth unit on the BNSF Laurel, MT to Denver, CO manifest.
