Been awhile since I've shot a train taking the siding at Leyden for a meeting. DS-378 favors Rocky way more than Leyden these days. Granted, quite a bit of the time in the last couple years, UP has used Leyden for long term storage. Here, an eastbound BNSF grain empty is in the siding, and will wait on the westbound Zephyr before continuing in to town. The grain train is a reroute from the Transcon after a derailment closed the line for about a day the previous week.
