Moffat Tunnel (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
UP 5105 has the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer rolling east on the siding through Bond. Most UP trains would change crews at Bond, but that was not the case with the Mountaineer. Crews from the Canadian-based tourist railroad have made the trip to Colorado and have qualified for running on the former Rio Grande. A single crew will operate between Denver and Glenwood Springs (and vice versa). Here, the train is on the siding as it will be meeting the westbound Zephyr.

Here at Bond, also known as Orestod, the Zephyr creeps west through a 15 MPH slow order. The slow order is due to the extreme heat and the concern of sun kinks is the rails. The Craig Branch, leading to Energy and Axial mines, peals away from the main line here. The Zephyr changes from the Moffat Tunnel Sub to the Glenwood Springs Sub here as it starts on the Dotsero Cutoff.

This westbound manager's special is rolling down the main at Bond (sometimes referred to as "Center Bond"). It is here than the Craig Branch (original grade of the Denver and Salt Lake) departs to the right and starts climbing toward Steamboat Springs. This control point also separates the East Siding from the West Siding at Bond. This is just about the end of the journey for the crew on the point of the manager's special. They will stop the train in Bond for a crew change. The next crew will take the train to Grand Junction.
