HD - Denverland Railfanning - Moffat Sub - True Mountain Railroading!

The third installment of the Denverland Railfanning series brings us to the famed Moffat Subdivision. This is one of the most picturesque, and yet hardest to railfan stretches of railroad in the country. On average about 10-12 trains a day traverse the route, so I was very fortunate to see 5 trains in one morning. All locations, some train info, and info are in the video.

Enjoy the video!!

nice job Carlos. @ 8:05 there was a derailment at Denver Union Station?

@jointlinerailfan Yup, a baggage car and the first couple axles of a sleeper came off the tracks; blocked the diamonds at 31st street diesel rack, and the Brush Sub.

At 4:00 that`s awesome landscape. Where is that ? Does that hill have a name ?

[trainsruleandroll]

@quimbyt The curve is located west of Rocky, which is about 10 miles west of Denver. As for the mountain overlooking it, im not sure of the name.
