A pair of "triclops" SD60Ms charge west out of Lacy. This is the power from the Minturn Local (which of course hasn't gone to Minturn in decades), but is now headed back to Grand Junction.

Toward the west end of Ruby Canyon, McDonald Creek meets up with the Colorado River. Here, the California Zephyr crosses over the creek as it makes its way west. We are less than two miles away from the Colorado/Utah border (on the Colorado side).

It is pretty impossible to get the right exposure on this shot on a clear day in the summer. The sun is on the north side of the canyon, guaranteeing trains will be in the shadows here. Regardless, we look down several hundred feet on the California Zephyr from the rim of Ruby Canyon.

The westbound California Zephyr is approaching the east switch of Utaline. The siding is so-named because the west switch falls right on the line of the Colorado/Utah border.
