Such was the case on this Thursday afternoon as an empty BNSF northbound enters the siding at Broomfield. The train is meeting a southbound...but the train won't fit west of Nickel Street, so the crossing will have to be cut. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The only thing that may have made this better is if this was an eastbound instead of a westbound. Here, the MNYRO is in the siding with a red signal dead ahead. The train would sit here for nearly an hour waiting for a delayed California Zephyr. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

They are headed to Denver where they will be auctioned off in July. UP 2888 was born as DRGW 5357. You can tell it is a former Grande T-2 here by the shortened fuel tank. By comparison, see UP 2904 which was born as SP 8357. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The MNYRO kept losing communication with its tail end DPU units, causing the train to go into emergency. These problems took so much time, that the crew on board will actually get relieved right here at Leyden! A new crew will bring out a new unit to put on the head end to resolve the communication issues. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Unfortunately, it only got 13 miles west of Union Station before betting stopped for another 90 minutes! The Zephyr is stopped here on the mainline at Leyden due to the MNYRO going into emergency ahead of it. The crew on the MNYRO worked to back the train into the siding at Leyden to clear up for Amtrak. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
