Glenwood Springs (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
At the east switch of Grand Valley, the pair of GP40-3s of the Rocky Mountaineer keep the test run of the train on the move west through the town of Parachute. Just out of view to the left, UP's Minturn Local is patiently waiting on the Mountaineer.

The Denver-Provo is moving at track speed as it passes by a clear signal at the east switch of Grand Valley. Other than taking the siding to meet Amtrak at Allen (near the east end of Glenwood Canyon), the train has not had to stop since leaving Denver! Indeed, the Zephyr is the only train it has even met. And it will prove to be the only train is meets on the entire journey from Denver to Grand Junction. The crew went on duty at 8:15am in Denver and will easily make it to Grand Junction within the 12 hour limit.
