Canadian Visitors on the Moffat Road
A westbound Union Pacific manifest works its way up-grade with two unusual visitors from the Northern Rockies. Distant rumbles of thunder from a building storm is drowned out by the howl of prime movers lifting tonnage up one of the most challenging grades on the continent, While the Moffat averages about 2% on its climb from Denver, the grade at this spot is almost 2.5%, making this the most challenging section of track for westbound trains on The Moffat Road. 5/17
