This train worked throughout the day, dumping ballast along the tracks. Indeed, UP close the line today, resulting in Amtrak not running between Denver and Grand Junction.

It is this hot springs resort that makes Glenwood Springs such a popular destination for passengers on the Zephyr. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The eastbound Zephyr gets to proceed into and through Glenwood Canyon while eastbound traffic on I-70 is at a dead standstill. A fire alongside Glenwood Canyon has I-70 shut down at the moment, and traffic isn't going anywhere. Indeed, some people are even getting out of their car and talking with their asphalt neighbors. I'll bet the passengers on Amtrak are enjoying the view as they roll east by the stopped traffic! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
