The westbound Zephyr rolls along at Rocky, entering the curve that will take it through Little Ten, and then Big Ten curves.

This time of year, when the Zephyr is on time...or even 10 minutes late like this morning...the shadows at Big Ten are still long enough to partially obscure the train as it climbs the nearly 2% grade.

The westbound Zephyr has made the final turn away from Big Ten Curve and is now headed west (geographically north) on the main at Eisele (Clay). The mesa in the distance is North Table Mountain, located on the north side of Golden.

There are no houses in this shot of the Zephyr climbing the grade from Coal Creek Canyon toward Tunnel 1. The question is, for how much longer will there be no houses in shots like this? The roads for the Canyon Pines Subdivision are all in place and it would seem construction of houses could start any time.

A P42DC and a P40DC (which has been rebuilt and is now essentially a P42DC) lead a baggage car and seven Superliners up the 2% grade toward the east portal of Tunnel 1.
