The eastbound Zephyr, led by a substitute UP C44ACM and a standard Amtrak P42DC, rolls east along the impressive near-vertical walls of Little Gore Canyon. The train is between Tunnels 40 and 39. As you can see, the level of the Colorado River is a bit low. That is typical this time of year, but low snow levels from this winter, the river is likely not going to increase much this year.

In the middle of Little Gore Canyon, an eastbound UP coal load is in between Tunnel 40 and Tunnel 39. Little Gore Canyon is a relatively short canyon, but it is also one of the narrowest and most impressive canyons on the Moffat.
