After an eastbound coal load passed by, I knew I had a little bit of time before the next westbound reached Cliff. I took advantage of the time and gained a little altitude on the north side of the tracks to shoot the MNYGJ. I was grateful for the overcast skies above me...on a clear day, the shadows would have killed this shot.

Derailments from the day before have resulted in congestion, delaying the westbound Zephyr a couple hours. Here at Cliff, the Zephyr will overtake (pass) a empty coal train that is sitting on the siding.

AC4400CW in your face! A westbound coal empty has a clear signal through Cliff as the unit approaches the grade crossing at Cliff. The train will continue west two more sidings (to Tolland) before stopping to meet the eastbound California Zephyr.
