It is hard to believe, but it has been five years (almost to the day) since UP ran a regular freight over the Moffat between Denver and Salt Lake City. The final MRONY (Manifest, Roper, UT to North Yard, CO) ran on December 8, 2018. Any freight traffic running from Denver to Salt Lake on UP now travels on this train. The MNYGR (Manifest, North Yard, CO to Green River, WY). From there, cars are placed on a new train, the MGRRO (Manifest, Green River, WY to Roper, UT). The train is just getting underway out of Denver, passing through Commerce City and crossing Sand Creek by the Suncor refinery.
