UP's MNYGJ departs North Yard for Grand Junction on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Typically, the crew is called in the late afternoon and it is quite common for the train to depart well after sunset. The best chance to get shots of the train in light are on the longest days of the year in summer. Such is the case on this day, as UP 6220 heads west out of Leyden. Of note, UP 6220 is no stranger to the Moffat, originally delivered as SP 113 in April 1995.
