This may be a view from Cliff that you aren't used to. Most shots at Cliff from either the west end or the east end. Not many come from in between the two! This eastbound coal load is meeting a westbound empty and is now about a quarter of a mile away from the east end of the siding.

Up until this point, the eastbound Zephyr had been running right on time. Unfortunately, a rock slide to the east changed that. Rocks came down between Tunnel 26 and 27, stopping all traffic for about two hours. Amtrak spent nearly an hour of that stopped right here at Cliff.

An interesting set of power on the Stockton to Denver train stopped at Cliff. A shabby-looking Warbonnet C40-8W - sandwiched by a pair of ES44DCs - are patiently waiting for the arrival of the Ski Train. The third unit, BNSF 7200, looks fresh out of the shop!

Got some time on your hands? I think the crew of this eastbound Stockton to Denver trackage rights train can probably relate! The train is in the hole at Cliff waiting for the Ski Train.

Looks like this former Espee AC4400CW has given a kiss to a few snow drifts! The train has a clear signal at the east end of Cliff as the train makes its way toward Denver. From there, it'll continue on to St Louis, MO where it will be interchanged.

About halfway through Cliff, South Boulder Creek passes underneath the tracks. A westbound coal empty is slowing (due to a yellow signal at the east end of Cliff) as it meets a coal load stopped on the siding.
