A pair of ES44ACs, the first of which is a "Tier-3 credit unit", in the same number range as ET44ACs, lead an eastbound loaded oil train about seven miles east of the Moffat Tunnel. A dirt road, called Tolland Road and/or East Portal Road, follows the tracks on the opposite side of South Boulder Creek.

This right here is what inspired "Aspen Gold" as the main color for the Denver and Rio Grande Western so many decades ago. A grove of Aspen trees is right at the peak of their fall color transition as the westbound California Zephyr glides by on the main track west of Rollins.

Tis the season! Deciduous trees in Colorado are blasting through beautiful fall colors and will be losing their leaves soon. A great way to observe the fall colors is onboard the California Zephyr, charging west out of Rollins in the background.
