Photo ID: 113369 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, November 16, 2025 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Gore Canyon Grand County, CO 41 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Rocky Mountaineer Nearing the west end of Gore Canyon, the first official media run of the newly-rebranded Canyon Spirit makes its way west. Starting in 2026, the train will make a six day journey from Denver to Salt Lake City and back. It will make stops at Glenwood Springs and Moab as well. During the winter months, the power and the passenger cars will be changed to read Canyon Spirit instead of Rocky Mountaineer. There is also a new power car in the consist, which presumably will also be painted this winter. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, this is no longer the Rocky Mountaineer. This is now the Canyon Spirit! Same train, but it is being rebranded and, in 2026, will run from Denver all the way to Salt Lake City and back. This is a test run that includes some members of the media on board. A new power car is on the head end behind the power. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In the distance, you can see the line that heads to Tennessee Pass. Roughly six miles of the west end of Tennessee Pass is still in service, with a local coming out of Grand Junction once or twice per week to service industries at Gypsum.

It was setout here after striking a vehicle to the west the day before. As a result, this means the siding of Range is the only siding on the 36-mile Dotsero cutoff!
