As we move more and more into the winter months, now only about five weeks away from the Winter Solstice, the days are getting very short! At 3:30pm, the sun is very low in the western sky as an eastbound Provo-Denver throttles up in the siding at Yarmony after meeting the westbound Canyon Spirit. The five units on the head end are all load and are all kicking up some exhaust!

The Denver-Provo is stopped in the siding at Yarmony to allow the westbound Zephyr, running about 35 minutes late, to overtake it on the mainline. This area around Yarmony is simply beautiful part of the Moffat, the Colorado River snaking in and out of small islands. The Denver-Provo will wait at Yarmony for the eastbound Zephyr, current on the siding at Bond.

BNSF's westbound Denver-Provo is currently stopped and holding in the siding at Yarmony. The westbound Zephyr is approaching Yarmony from the east and will overtake the Denver-Provo here at Yarmony.

When you stand next to Amtrak (or any train, for that matter), it feels so huge. Then, you plop it in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and suddenly it doesn't feel quite so big at all! The Zephyr is on the main track at Yarmony, just a few miles from Bond and the transition from the Moffat Tunnel Sub to the Glenwood Springs Sub.
