A pair of SD70Ms lead 11 cars on a westbound UP officer's special, which was rumored to be carrying an executive vice president for the company. Alas, the sun was still hiding behind the clouds, preventing a great sunlit shot.

I was hoping for a shot of this UP officer's special as it rolled through Byers Canyon. Alas, it was too late in the day as the canyon was cast in shadow and the sun would've been on the wrong side of the tracks anyway. So, I settled for this shot just east of the small town of Parshall, between the sidings of Sulphur and Flat.

Just west of Byers Canyon, BNSF's Denver-Provo is heading directly into the sun as it gets closer to the horizon. The train had to sit in the siding at Granby for over an hour, waiting for both the Zephyr and UP's officer's special to get through.

The train version of riding off into the sunset! BNSF's Denver-Provo has clear (green) signals ahead just west of Byers Canyon. After the tail end of the train is clear of the canyon, the train will pick up some speed between here at Kremmling.
