The eastbound California Zephyr wraps through the east end of the siding at Tabernash after meeting BNSF's Denver to Provo manifest. Kind of interesting that this shot has two train meeting on Union Pacific track, yet neither train is a UP train!

UP's daily MRONY holds on the main track at Tabernash. The dispatcher has informed the train that they will be waiting for a little bit. The MNYRO has to set out a pair of cars on the house track at Fraser, and the crew will need to hold here in the meantime.

Okay, this one is for all of you black and white fans! The westbound California Zephyr highballs Tabernash under some dramatic high country Colorado skies. The temperature outside is just over zero degrees.

Hmmm, do we have diesel or steam here? The second P42 on Amtrak was having a bad smoking day. In addition to smoke, a fair amount of snow is being kicked up too. The highway off to the left is US-40.

The Ski Train is heading back to Fraser where it will wait until it is time to pick up its passengers. Not the signal at Fraser in the distance. Even further in the distance, skiers are enjoying a great day of skiing on the slopes at Winter Park.

Clouds were a bit unpredictable on this morning and the temperature was a chilly three degrees below zero! After wying at Tabernash, the Ski Train is on its way back toward Fraser. Looks like the Ski Train could stand a good power wash.

The Ski Train has once again been successfully wyed at Tabernash, the train is nearing the east end of the siding and will proceed east to Fraser on an advanced approach (flashing yellow) signal.

I love the view down the tracks looking from Tabernash east towards Fraser. It is a very long, straight shot. In this picture, you can see the clear intermediate signal as well as the signal at the west end of Fraser. Fall colors are starting to make this area a very photogenic spot, not only for railfans but for everyone!

The California Zephyr is in between it's last two station stops west of Denver here at Tabernash. The train will leave Tabernash on a clear signal and run the four miles east to Fraser for another stop.
