Three days into May, but there still a LOT of snow left in the high country. The eastbound California Zephyr passes through Tolland running right on time.

Up until this point, the eastbound Zephyr had been running right on time. Unfortunately, a rock slide to the east changed that. Rocks came down between Tunnel 26 and 27, stopping all traffic for about two hours. Amtrak spent nearly an hour of that stopped right here at Cliff.

This shot is remarkably similar to one that I snapped a few weeks earlier at the exact same spot. The time of day - almost 8:00pm - limited the options for places to take this shot. After spending a day on the western slope, UP 1989 comes back to Denver on the MRONY-02.

Shortly after 8:00pm, UP's MRONY heads east out of Rocky through Barbara's Gulch. The light was all but gone at this point, so I setup for a "watch the train blur by" shot. UP 1989 was the second unit on the consist, as you can somewhat see in the shot.
