The Rocky Mountaineer heads away from the camera along the headwaters of the Colorado River with some fantastic fall colors west of Granby. As you might imagine, this is the best season for the Rocky Mountaineer.

Unfortunately, one of the two Rocky Mountaineer GP40-3s was down for the count and spending some time in the shop, so RMRX 8600 was filling in on this trip. The engineer offers up a friendly wave as the train passes Grand County Road 57.

A few miles west of Granby, the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer passes a green intermediate signal as it passes through a cut of golden cottonwood trees. This is a shot I've wanted to get for several years, and I was happy the opportunity finally presented itself!

Just before 10 o'clock in the morning, a westbound coal empty rolls west of Granby along the headwaters of the Colorado River. In just a few weeks, fall colors are going to be in full force here in the Colorado high country.

A spot that has come to be known as the "Granby Overlook", west of Granby, a UP officer's special charges west toward the setting sun. As you can see, the skies are partly cloudy, and the train is moving in and out of the shadows on the trip west.
