Photo ID: 108451 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, August 15, 2020 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Laramie Albany County, WY 1046 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Laramie (UP) Amtrak The eastbound California Zephyr crosses over Laramie River on Main 2 just west (geographically north) of Laramie, WY. The Grizzly Creek wildfire in Glenwood Canyon has closed UP's Glenwood Springs Sub and, as a result, the Zephyr is being detoured through Wyoming between Salt Lake City and Denver. Interestingly, this is the same train set that I rode in just six days early on a return trip from Glenwood Springs to Denver.

The clouds are actually quite helpful, as this shot is taken from the north side of the rails. On a sunny day, this side of the train would be cast is shadows. The temperature is a fairly mild 50­°F.

Between Tie Siding and Laramie, Mains 1 and 2 follow a very different grade from Main 3. Main 3 has a steeper grade, so it is generally not used by heavier trains.
