It seems that of the two big Canadian railroads, Canadian National is the one that tends to appear in Colorado on BNSF. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is the time for black and white photos. Heck, with the snow, there isn't much color in the shot to being with, right!? This BNSF train is tied down at Leyden, patiently awaiting a relief crew to take it to town. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's Provo-Denver manifest was tied down on the siding at Leyden. With a Warbonnet on the point and a very rare Canadian Pacific unit second out, it was a colorful consist. Notice anything odd about the front of the Warbonnet? Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The local only has a pair of GP40-2's for power and a string of heavy covered hoppers, so the geeps are working very hard.

A Loram ballast machine is doing some ballast work along the outside of the rails on the siding at Leyden. The Loram crew had hoped to be working on the main east of Leyden, but, as you can see, the dispatcher had trains to run! So, the crew took advantage off the non-mainline time and did some work on the siding. The crew was explicitly told not to work on the south side of the tracks (the inside of the curve) due to the trains coming through on the main. Always, safety first! Interesting to note that the second-to-last unit in the consist is an SD9043MAC. It is pretty rare to find those in coal service these days as UP decided in 2009 to remove them from said service. How things have changed. The Moffat has gone from an EMD-only club to almost exclusively GE! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train was only doing 10 MPH at this point after getting flagged past the east signal at Leyden. An intermittent block detection was the culprit.

Phase I and Phase II Heritage P42DC's lead the Zephyr at Leyden. The Zephyr is running about 3 1/2 hours late this morning, about 90 minutes of that due to a Vice Presidential Motorcade. VP Biden was in town and his motorcade route traversed I-25 over the tracks. Consequently, the Secret Service wasn't allowing any trains under the bridge.

If you are at west Leyden when the Zephyr is passing Chemical, you'll be hard-pressed making it to east Leyden ahead of him!

The train came from Provo, running through much of Utah and Colorado in the dark. It is supposed to be heading to Pueblo, although I don't know where the cars are going specifically once they get there; where they will get more pipe.
