A pair of units bring up the tail end of a colorful Herzog ballast train through Arvada. The train unloaded on portions of the former Rio Grande and is currently headed toward Cheyenne. From there, it will likely head west to the quarry and reload. When loaded, ballast trains are (not surprisingly) very heavy and, as a result, frequently run with DPUs.
