Ten years ago, you would have seen the east switch of Yarmony in this picture. However, when UP extended Yarmony several thousand feet to the west, they also moved the east switch west. This took the switch off the S-Curve seen here, and prevented the siding from crossing a road, allowing trains to stop on the siding without blocking the road.

In a lot of ways, this turned out to be one of my favorite shots of this particular day. The Zephyr certainly isn't an overpowering component in the shot, but that's okay. Just a nice, lazy day in the Colorado high country along the Colorado River!

The towering 14ers of the Rockies are many miles to the east now, but that doesn't mean the mountains are gone. In fact, the westbound Zephyr is still close to 7,000 feet above sea level!
