This westbound coal empty has made the climb through the S-Curves at Coal Creek and is about to duck in to Tunnel 1. The train is following behind the Zephyr and a light power move headed for Grand Junction.

After meeting three westbounds between Winter Park and Granby, this BNSF Provo-Denver had clear signals the rest of the trip down the front range to Denver. Here, the train passes by secluded Oberon Lake just east of Kipling Street in Arvada.
