On a slow, partly cloudy Sunday morning, a Grand Junction crew uses a pair of GP40-2s to switch some cars around in the west end of the Grand Junction yard. A month ago, I happened to shoot this exact same GP40-2 (UP 1459) in North Yard in Denver!

Both of these GP40-2s started out wearing scarlet and gray as Cotton Belt units! Now sporting their UP scheme (with CNW-inspired lightning bolt), they work on some switching on the west side of the yard in Grand Junction.

With its station stop complete, Amtrak prepares to depart east out of Grand Junction. The Grand Junction station is in very good condition, as far as Amtrak stations tend to go. This station is far more luxorious than the Salt Lake City depot!
