Making its way west of Byers Canyon, this train will soon be able to pick up some speed. Freights are limited to 20 MPH through the canyon due its tight curves, but the flat terrain between Byers Canyon and Kremmling allow for freights to move up to 60 MPH. The train cannot speed up just yet as its tail end is still in the canyon, as noted to the left side of the frame.

Between Gore and Byers Canyons, trains can actually reach speeds of 60 MPH. This manifest is making good time in Parshall, CO, but will be slowing down shortly to 20 MPH in preparation of entering Byers Canyon.

If you ever plan on taking a trip to Colorado, never expect the weather to match the season! Here, seven days into June, the temperature is 40 degrees and it is snowing just east of Parshall, about a mile west of Byers Canyon.
