The eastbound California Zephyr is running about 45 minutes early (yes, early) as it rounds Big Ten Curve on its journey east. It will meet westbounds at Rocky and Leyden (both of which are already waiting for the Zephyr).

The eastbound California Zephyr works its way down in elevation toward Little Ten Curve on the approach to Rocky. The east end of the siding of Clay can be seen in the foreground, now more than a mile behind the Zephyr (by rail).

A BNSF train makes its way around Big Ten Loop. But the question is, which way is it going? If you guessed west, you'd be correct. The three units toward the right side of the screen are on the head end and the train is pulling up grade. There is a single DPU unit on the tail end of the train.

BNSF's daily Denver to Provo trackage rights train makes its way through the S-Curve just east of the road crossing at Blue Mountain. The train has an interesting load behind the power - a pair of tanks!

It is getting to be late in the day as this westbound BNSF manifest works its way through the base of Coal Creek Canyon. The head end units are about to pass into Tunnel 1 in the distance.
