The eastbound MRONY-25 is heading for the west switch of Leyden. It will run through the siding and continue on to North Yard.

The double stack is pulling in to the clear on the siding as a southbound molten sulfur train (called the "stinky slinky") starts pulling on the main. Both trains are blowing their horns as they approach Nickel Street. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The rail head is completely covered by snow even though there hasn't really been any snow fall in 24 hours. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, it was nice to see the unit on the point of the Zephyr on this particular morning. The train is only a few minutes late as it charges west out of Leyden.

Photo ID: 104028 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, October 20, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Chemical (MP 14.5) Arvada, CO 359 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific This is pretty much the definition of a perfect morning in Colorado (at least in my book)! Clear blue skies and temperatures right around 60ºF. A very long MRONY has an approach diverging (yellow-over-yellow) signal at Chemical. The train will be taking the siding at Leyden to meet its counterpart. These manifests used to be a good source for DC power (SD70Ms, SD60Ms, C44-9Ws, etc), but these days, they seem to almost always just carry the same AC power that coal trains have.

However, the gray above the red and white lines is in fact darker than when the P42's wore the scheme a decade ago. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is the Phase IV unit, which was never one of my favorite schemes. But, any of the previous schemes is better than the current scheme, in my opinion!

DS-86 has informed the crew that they will meet a northbound at Hazeltine, but the northbound won't be ready to depart for about an hours. The train won't fit in the siding at Hazeltine without blocking crossing, so here it will sit! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
