Always nice catching a UP manifest on the Moffat. This train is actually the Phippsburg Local, which originated in Phippsburg, CO overnight. Interestingly, the train left P-Burg with a crew based out of P-Burg. Typically, a Denver-based crew in Yampa (an away terminal) would just take the train east. The P-Burg crew took the train as far as Kremmling. There, a van arrived from Denver with a Denver-based crew. The left number board (as you look at the train in the shot) is a little interesting as it is black-on-white whereas the right number board is the standard white on black.
