Passenger Trains In The Snow

Yesterday morning we had two passenger trains depart Denver going west through the Moffat Tunnel towards Utah. The first train was Amtrak #5, the daily train from Chicago to San Francisco. The second train was a Union Pacific passenger special running for railroad officials to meet with local politicians and business leaders.
Photo #1- Amtrak #5 passes me at Leyden siding west of Denver in the suburb of Arvada.
Photo #2- About two hours later the UP special passed me after hosting local officials in Denver for a breakfast before departing for Provo, UT.
Not great weather but seeing passenger trains running at all is welcome!
