UP 7504 leads the only UP manifest that still runs on the Moffat, the manifest that runs between North Yard in Denver and the Grand Junction Yard. Typically, the westbound train departs North Yard in the darkest hours of the night. However, problems with UP's MPUNY (on the Joint Line) resulted in the power on that train getting to North Yard much later than expected. That power as needed for the MNYGJ (seen here), delaying the departure of the MNYGJ. The result was a great daylight chase on the Moffat. The ski resort you see in the distance in the small resort of Granby Ranch.
