The coach cars making up the circus train make a silver streak in the morning sunlight on the main at Eisele. The circus train is the longest private passenger train in the United States, coming in at 60 cars! It is over half a mile long.

The westbound Zephyr, running just a few minutes late, heads west on the main at Eisele (formerly Clay). The train consists of seven Superliners, which is fairly typical for winter months when demand is a little lower. You may also note that both units on the point are wearing the Phase III heritage scheme!

The westbound MNYRO is actually headed north (geographically) as it runs through Eisele. Just a few minutes earlier, the train was at Rocky on the track below. While this is only a few hundred feet going up the mountain side, it is roughly two miles by rail!

Empty rails? Not quite! If you look off in the distance, you can see the westbound California Zephyr moving along on the main at Clay. The bridge in the foreground runs over Indiana Street just west of Leyden.

The California Zephyr is running right on time as it heads west through Clay. The morning sun on the plains would quickly become obscured by clouds when heading into the high country.
