The westbound Rocky Mountaineer is has eight cars, testing out expanded service set to being in 2026. The train will be rebranded from the Rockies to the Red Rocks to the Canyon Spirit. The train, for the first time, rolls by the Amtrak platform in Helper on Main 1. Main 2 sits closest to the platform, which has a couple of folks watching the passing train.

Helper continues to live up to its name, even in 2025. A dozen or so units idle away in the lower yard at Helper, waiting for their next assignment. Heavy westbounds, including oil trains and coal trains, still have manned helpers added to them for the 2.15% climb up Soldier Summit.

A fantastic-looking SD70M, UP 4190, is powered down and rests in the yard. Not sure if it is being stored, or if it simply waiting for some assignment, but it's been awhile since I've seen an SD70M sporting paint quite this pristine.
