The eastbound Zephyr is moving along at track speed (70 MPH) on the mainline at Una. Union Pacific is in standard "summer maintenance mode", with a slew of maintenance vehicles parked on the siding.

While I have shot a fair amount along the Glenwood Springs Subdivision between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction, I have never actually shot at the siding of Una. At least, not prior to this shot! The tracks can largely be seen from I-70 between Glenwood and Grand Junction. However, from west of Parachute (near Una) to De Beque, the tracks and I-70 separate. You have to take old US-6 to follow the tracks directly.

The eastbound Zephyr has a clear signal at the east end of Una. The train is making track speed at 70 MPH, but will be slowing down in about a mile as there is a short 20 MPH slow order not far ahead.

I wish there had been a bit more sunlight for this shot. Unfortunately, there were just too many clouds in the sky. The eastbound Zephyr is moving through the canyon west of Glenwood Springs along the Colorado River. Because the tracks are on the south side of the canyon - and because there are not a lot of great places to pull over to shoot - there are not a lot of pictures from this canyon. Which is unfortunately because the canyon has some beautiful colors between the green foliage and the red rocks.
