An ES44AC, ET44AC, and AC4400CW back a Herzog ballast train down in to the siding at Leyden. One of the units on the train failed as it was coming through Arvada. Not wanting to block any grade crossing, the train pulled between switches on the main at Leyden and dropped off the conductor. It then pulled west of Leyden and is now backing down on the siding. The train will be cut in half and the front half will be taken west to dump ballast.
