Photo ID: 109532 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Evans (MP 48.3) Evans, CO 178 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific The South Platte River has receded considerably since May and June when it was nearly bursting at the banks! That was after near-record rainfall in the Spring. With things drying out the snow long since melted, the waters have decreased as a northbound coal empty crosses alongside US-85 just north of La Salle.

US-85 parallels the tracks, crossing the river over its own bridge. The South Platte is one of the largest rivers in Colorado, which isn't saying much when compared to rivers like the Mississippi!

A bit of a rare treat for passengers aboard the Zephyr as well. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

An opportunity to get a shot like this does not happen often for a few reasons. First, the Zephyr is detouring through Wyoming and is crossing the South Platte River along US-85 on the south edge of Evans, CO. That alone is rare enough. Adding to that, however, is the fact that the Zephyr departed Denver at 3:30pm rather than its normal time of 8:05am, setting up for the great evening light.

Always have been, likely always will be. This, I'm sure, is because I was raised on Rio Grande, which never owned a non-EMD unit in my lifetime. So, seeing a quartet of EMDs leading a southbound just south of Greeley (with two SD40-2s to boot), made me a very happy camper.
