Originally, the MNYRO-09 was going to hold at Leyden to let the AOE pass. However, as the train approached the west end of Leyden, they got a green signal. The train was taken to Clay and a coal empty was released ahead of the the AOE. The coal train took the siding at Leyden, and the AOE got delayed!

Even this late into the season, some of the trees still have leaves trackside. The two P42's on the point are wearing Amtrak's Phase V paint scheme, and all the cars are wearing the Phase IV scheme.

That means that the old D&SL signals are becoming more and more rare. New UP signals have been installed at west Leyden, although they have not yet been activated yet. Time grows short for the old D&SL signals! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 100413 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, April 19, 2005 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden, CO 709 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Southern Pacific I NEVER thought I would again see the day when SEVEN geeps could be found on the point of a train. It happen on this day though, when the Rocky Local was powered by three Espee GP40(M)-2s, three Grande GP40-2's, and a UP GP39-2. Black and white just seemed right for this picture, as it looks like it could have come straight out of the early 1980's!!!
