There are a lot of people on the platform, most of whom are probably waiting to ride back to Denver. A lot of the business on the Zephyr comes between Denver and Glenwood Springs! And with today being MLK Day, there are likely even more people headed home after the three day weekend. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In this shot, a string of hoppers (currently being stored) sits in the east siding while UP's Minturn Local sits in the west siding. The main track runs down the middle of the two. The Minturn Local (which, of course, hasn't actually gone to Minturn in nearly two decades, but still retains the name) will soon switch out some tank cars in the Glenwood Springs yard.

It is largely thanks to the hot springs pool and lodge, seen in the background on the other side of the Colorado River. Water comes out of the ground at 122°F. It is then cooled before being placed in to either the large pool (1 million gallons of water at 90°F) or the "therapy" pool (90,000 gallons of water at 104°F).
