On February 23rd, with a lazy day in Denver ahead of me, I, and some good friends traveled west of Denver to the Former D&RGW Moffat Route for some early morning/early afternoon railfanning. Not much was to be seen in the 5 hours we spent trackside, other than some real dense fog. We start off with the westbound morning run of the California Zephyr, as it storms up grade, ready to take on the 14-hour journey to Salt Lake City. Then we see two more Westbounds before we conclude. Our last train is a westbound manifest with a whopping 8 locomotives leading the way. And a single DPU bringing up the rear. Not much was to be seen afterwards. Although the fog eventually cleared up completely, we decided to conclude at that. This video is short, but it is action packed, and captures the essence that is winter time in the state of Colorado. Rate. Comment. Subscribe. ENJOY!!!
