Fall colors along the front range are entirely complete here at the start of November. Most trees have lost their leaves entirely, although some still have some colorless leaves clinging on, such as this tree near the west end of Eisele (Clay). The westbound Zephyr rolls through the scene on the main.

In 2018, it was common to find eight Superliners on the Zephyr through the winter months. Post-COVID, an a coach and a sleeper have both been dropped from the train, making six Superliners the current winter standard. P42DCs still reign on the Zephyr, despite Amtrak taking receipt on 18 ALC-42s.

AMTK 134 and AMTK 168 lead the westbound Zephyr on the pull toward Tunnel 1 up from the case of Coal Creek Canyon. Construction on the new Canyon Pines subdivision continues in the background. No groundbreaking on any houses has started. Yet.

Just west of the west portal of Tunnel 1, the second snow fall of the 2023-2024 winter season still largely covers the ground as the westbound Zephyr pulls west. The Zephyr is a little over an hour late this morning.
