After waiting at Green River for over an hour, this eastbound loaded oil train is finally on the move again. Afternoon storms set up some pretty dramatic skies and some great silhouettes on the horizon.

As the end of the day grows every closer, the westbound Zephyr has knocked down an "approach diverging" signal, indicating that it will be taking the siding at Green River to make its scheduled station stop. It will also be meeting a loaded UP oil train, currently holding the main at Green River.

This spring, the "green" part of Green River is definitely showing! The last DPU on a westbound oil empty just crossed over Green River and is entering the siding. It is meeting an eastbound oil load. The load will have to wait here for the Zephyr, which is currently at Mack, 90 miles to the east. Unfortunately, the next available siding for a meet, Thompson, is an hour to the east. The dispatcher does not want to risk delaying the Zephyr by releasing the oil train for a meet there.

For what is likely the last time ever, the Kansas (previously the Wilson McCarthy) heads west in to Green River on the back of the California Zephyr. When it hitched a ride on the back in the 1980's, it would be dropped off in Salt Lake. Not this time however...it is on its way to Los Angeles, CA where it will now be based.

The California Zephyr is running right on time as it speeds west toward the oasis town of Green River, UT. This will end up being the last train over this stretch of track for the next six hours. Not a lot of traffic in the desert!

UP 4945 leads the MRONY-11 across American Bridge Company's vintage 1931 trestle over the Green River. The Green River has been running very wide and deep after the wet spring of 2005.
