The leaves are all gone from the tree at the mid-point of November. However, there isn't a trace of snow yet here at Dell, which is rather uncommon at this point at the start of the winter season. A pair of CN units are DPUs on an eastbound coal load.

A pair of Canadian National units bring up the tail end of an eastbound coal load. As if the CN units are not interesting enough, they also both have DC traction motors. Rather rare on unit trains in 2025. The train here is following the Colorado River at Dell.

As the Rocky Mountaineer heads west on the main track at Dell, we notice an odd sight as a single Amtrak P42DC (AMTK 205) sits on the siding. It was setout here after striking a vehicle to the west the day before. As a result, this means the siding of Range is the only siding on the 36-mile Dotsero cutoff!

Fall colors are still near their peak here at the siding of Dell as the Rocky Mountaineer heads west on the main track. Dell is one of two sidings on the 36-mile Dotsero Cutoff between Bond and Dotsero.

The Rocky Mountaineer has backup unit RMRX 8600 leading the train west this afternoon on the main track at Dell.

AMTK 205 was involved in a collision with a vehicle the day prior to this photo. As a result, for safety reasons, the unit was set out here in the siding at Dell. There is also another P42DC currently in the siding at Newcastle west of Glenwood from a similar incident.

Now here is something I definitely did not expect to find in the siding at Dell! A single Amtrak P42DC. Unfortunately, the eastbound Zephyr the day before struck a vehicle not far west of here on the Dotsero Cutoff. For safety reasons, the unit was set out here in the siding at Dell.
