There are three trains either on the move or ready to go in this shot on this Sunday morning. The California Zephyr is, of course, on the move on the Moffat mainline with AMTK 171 and AMTK 203 for power. Behind the Zephyr is UP's MNYGR, ready to depart North Yard to head to the Greeley Sub and head north to Cheyenne before headed to Green River, WY. Another train that will also head through Cheyenne on its journey is BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The BNSF manifest will, of course, head north on the Front Range Sub. The train has received its track warrant and, after the Zephyr and the MNYGR depart, it will be BNSF's turn.
