Some lumber from the west slope of Colorado passes in the foreground at the west switch of Rocky as the power on the MGJNY wraps out of Little Ten Loop and heads down the train away toward East Rocky.

Approaching the west switch of Rocky, the California is running about two hours late, but has clear signals westbound. It'll meet an eastbound waiting in the siding at Tolland.

An eastbound light power move highballs west Rocky while a westbound sand train sits on the main at Eisele. Shortly before this shot was taken, the light power moved met the sand train. The sand train has not departed yet because the dispatcher is having difficulty getting the west switch at Eisele to throw from the siding to the main.

After meeting an eastbound at Rocky, this westbound UP manifest (headed for the Craig Branch) now has a clear signal and is starting to pull. With locomotive emissions as efficient as they are these days, it is difficult to tell that all seven of the units on the train are throttling up!

East meets west at the west switch of Rocky. An eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver (which is currently moving compass north) meets a westbound UP PBurg Local (which is currently moving compass south). After the meet, the UP train will pull up and around Big Ten and run on the rail near the top of the frame, up at Eisele.

At the west end of Rocky, an eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver heads down the main toward little Ten Curve. The fifth unit is a Utah Railway MK50-3. These units time on Utah Railway have come to an end and they are being sent to the KYLE Railroad in eastern Colorado and western Kansas.

The eastbound California Zephyr works its way down in elevation toward Little Ten Curve on the approach to Rocky. The east end of the siding of Clay can be seen in the foreground, now more than a mile behind the Zephyr (by rail).
