Running just nine minutes late, the eastbound Zephyr departs Fraser, CO, its last station stop west of Denver. The perspective here is from the top of the Fraser tubing hill. In the winter, you can rent a huge inter tube and fly down the hill.

The westbound Zephyr is only about five minutes late as it pulls towards the platform at Fraser. A UP track patrolman in a hyrailer heads east on the siding at Fraser, meeting the Zephyr.

The city of Fraser is the backdrop for this eastbound Union Pacific Engineer's Special. The train departed Council Bluffs the day before and ran through Cheyenne to Salt Lake City.

The weather really cooperated here at Fraser for the Engineering Special. A major rain storm passed through less than 20 minutes ago, but cleared out and left sunlight in its wake in time for the special. UP's DDA40X was last on the Moffat in April 2008.

UP's Engineering Special, led by DDA40X UP 6936, is coming down the main at Fraser. At 4,830 feet, Fraser is definitely one of the shorter sidings on the Moffat.
