While I have caught a handful of Canadian National units in Colorado (including one of the Moffat in 2008), this is the first time I've seen one leading on the Moffat. Interesting that CN orders their units with red class lights! Note them on the lead SD70M-2 on the outsides of the number boards. The train here is tying down on the siding at Leyden to wait for a relief crew.
