The westbound Rocky Mountaineer "Rockies to the Red Rocks" is making its way through incredibly scenic Ruby Canyon along the Colorado River. The siding ahead is named Utaline as the siding sits right on the line between Colorado and Utah.

After shooting the Rocky Mountaineer at Fruita, I had hoped to make it to Ruby Canyon ahead of the train for a shot of it coming. Alas, I arrived about two minutes too late, and had to settle with a going away shot as the train approaches a clear (green) signal at the east end of Utaline.

Ruby Canyon does not see too many trains anymore, with Union Pacific diverting the majority of traffic through Wyoming. On this day, however, a westbound rail train led by a UP SD60 an a UP SD70M is approaching the west end of the canyon.
