The California Zephyr follows the Colorado River for just over 230 miles in both Utah and Colorado. Here, the mighty river spans across the spectacular Glenwood Canyon as the eastbound Zephyr glides by on the main track at Grizzly.

After completing its station stop in Glenwood Springs, the eastbound Zephyr is on the move again on the main track at Grizzly. Grizzly is one of three sidings located within the splendor of Glenwood Canyon. The other two sidings are Shoshone and Allen.

A C44-9W (of Espee heritage...formerly SP 8120) and an SD40N (recently rebuilt by UP from an SD40-2) head east down the main at Grizzly in a snow-filled Glenwood Canyon. The train is headed for Gypsum (on the far west end of Tennessee Pass) where it will switch out American Gypsum, a wallboard plant.

After spending about three hours switching in the yard in Glenwood Springs, UP's Minturn Local is now headed east toward Tennessee Pass. Now that statement sounds far more exciting that it actually is. While most of Tennessee Pass is "railbanked" and out of service, about seven miles of the west end is still active. The stretch between Dotsero and Gypsum is still active, which is to say it sees one train a week: The Minturn Local. American Gypsum is a wallboard manufacturer located in Gypsum and they ship by rail. A (far less common than its AC brothers) C44-9W leads the local on the main at Grizzly.

One of the most awe-inspiring places in the world simply must be Glenwood Canyon. Even more so in winter when it is covered in snow. Amid the sheer rock walls and Colorado River, an eastbound manifest approaches a clear signal at the east switch of Grizzly.

UP typically does not run a manifest between Roper, UT and North Yard, CO on Sundays. However, it seems there was enough traffic to demand it on the second third Sunday of 2016. A day later, the MRONYX (The "X" indicating it is an extra, unscheduled run of the train) heads west on the main at Grizzly about four miles east of Glenwood Springs.
