Glenwood Springs (UP) Amtrak
About 25 miles west of Glenwood Springs, the Zephyr is approaching the east switch of Rifle. Once upon a time, the Rio Grande Zephyr stopped at Rifle. When the Rio Grande Zephyr retired in April 1983 and Amtrak ran the California Zephyr through here, Amtrak's California Zephyr initially stopped at Rifle as well. However, just six months later, in October 1983, Amtrak removed Rifle as a station stop.

The east switch of Rifle is located under a bridge and next to a flurry of trees that were just reaching their fall peaks on this Sunday afternoon. Amtrak is doing its best to make up some time as it works its way east to its next station stop in Glenwood Springs.
