Photo ID: 108563 Date Shot Photo By Friday, January 1, 2021 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP RG367 (East Chacra) Garfield County, CO 654 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Glenwood Springs (UP) Union Pacific An eastbound UP coal load crosses underneath I-70 and follows along the Colorado River at the east end of Chacra. If you look close, you can see empty coal hoppers in the siding at Chacra. These hoppers have been sitting in the siding here for at least 6-8 months, and possibly longer!

The landscape opens up, allowing for much higher speeds for trains. Here at east end of Chacra, the Zephyr passes by some brilliant fall colors as it picks up speed. It will go 70+ MPH for much of the remaining trip to Grand Junction. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The eastbound Zephyr is passing by stored hoppers in the siding at Chacra. The highway to the left is I-70, which the tracks more-or-less follow between Grand Junction and Dotsero.

Photo ID: 105224 Date Shot Photo By Monday, May 25, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed East of Chacra Glenwood Springs, CO 1535 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Glenwood Springs (UP) Amtrak I wish there had been a bit more sunlight for this shot. Unfortunately, there were just too many clouds in the sky. The eastbound Zephyr is moving through the canyon west of Glenwood Springs along the Colorado River. Because the tracks are on the south side of the canyon - and because there are not a lot of great places to pull over to shoot - there are not a lot of pictures from this canyon. Which is unfortunately because the canyon has some beautiful colors between the green foliage and the red rocks. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
