It was brought to Granby from Denver about two weeks ago on April 14, 2018. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the distance, you may notice a dog leg in the tracks. This is because, many years ago, Granby actually had two sidings! An east siding and a west siding. The east siding was on the north side of the main and the west siding was on the south side of the main. In the late 1980s, the two were connected. The east siding got welded rail and became the main. The old main on the east siding was connected to the west siding and became the extended siding.

Unlike the station stop at Fraser, which is about 10 minutes and gives passengers a chance to step off the train, the stop in Granby is much shorter. Just long enough to let passengers off that are staying and let passengers on that are coming! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such is the case here for the eastbound Zephyr in Granby. But, since I don't get to the west slope all that frequently, I decided it worth including a shot. The Zephyr is just starting to pull after completing its stop at Granby. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

As you can see, the siding hasn't been used in a while! The rail head is completely covered. The lead unit on the empty is also in desperate need of a bath.
