One of the two engineers in the cab of the eastbound Zephyr has the window open and is checking out the drone, which is pacing the train as it approaches the west switch of Eisele (Clay).

Just west of Eisele (Clay), the westbound Zephyr comes around the curve toward the grade crossing at Blue Mountain. Way back in the distance, you can see the tracks coming up from Rocky and toward Big Ten Loop.

On a crystal clear June morning, an unusual train (for the time of day) approaches a clear signal at West Eisele. While it is not uncommon for the Zephyr to encounter some delays, it is rather uncommon for it to experience delays this bad! This Zephyr is running over 14 hours late and should have passed through here last night. While not the best situation for passengers, it is an ideal situation for photographers, with the option to get the eastbound Zephyr in morning light.

On a crystal clear Colorado morning, a westbound coal empty leaves Eisele on the approach to the Blue Mountain Road crossing. Unlike so many other coal empties, this particular train had quite a surprise in store with an SD40-2 on the point! Not only is it a DC unit instead of an AC unit, but a spartan cab!

This eastbound coal load has a colorful consist of mid-train swing helpers. A fair number of CSX units have been showing up as power sharing on UP trains in Denver lately. I enjoy the added blue in the scene!
