Although the leaves have finally fallen off of most of the deciduous trees at this point in the fall, a lot of the ground shrubs are still holding a lot of color. The eastbound Rocky Mountaineer passes through the colorful scene just east of Yarmony as some low-hanging clouds envelop a part of the mountain in the background.

The eastbound Rocky Mountaineer follows along a relatively still Colorado River just east of Yarmony. This is near the location of a derailment nearly 20 years ago that involved one of EMD's SD70ACe demo units.

Not too far east of Yarmony, we find the westbound Zephyr making great time amidst fall foliage and the Colorado River. With so few trains on the Moffat (meaning minimal meets) and very few slow orders right now, it can be a substantial challenge chasing the Zephyr!

On a pristine October day in the Colorado high country, an eastbound coal load (with UP 1988 on the point) climbs the gentle 0.15% grade along the Colorado River just east of Yarmony.

The Colorado River offers up a nice reflection of this eastbound coal load with UP 1988 on the point. The train is just east of the siding of Yarmony.

In this shot, the Zephyr is located right around the former location of the east switch of Yarmony. After a derailment in 2001, UP lengthened the siding at move the east switch further west so it wasn't on a curve.
