Glenwood Springs (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
The Rocky Mountaineer has left the Dotsero Cutoff behind as it is now on the main at the east end of the siding of Dotsero. 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.

Glenwood Springs (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
Here at the west end of the Dotsero Cutoff, the cutoff joins the west end of Tennessee Pass. It is also here that the Eagle River joins with the Colorado River. The Rocky Mountaineer is technically still on the Dotsero Cutoff as it crosses over the Eagle River, and you can see it converging with the Colorado River.

Glenwood Springs (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
If you've never taken a passenger train on the former Rio Grande, this is why you should if you get the chance! Whether it is the Rocky Mountaineer, such as here, or the California Zephyr, the scenery is breathtaking. The Mountaineer is crossing the Colorado River in Red Canyon under partly cloudy skies on a fantastic October afternoon.

Glenwood Springs (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
As the Rocky Mountaineer heads west on the main track at Dell, we notice an odd sight as a single Amtrak P42DC (AMTK 205) sits on the siding. 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!

Fall colors are still near their peak here at the siding of Dell as the Rocky Mountaineer heads west on the main track. Dell is one of two sidings on the 36-mile Dotsero Cutoff between Bond and Dotsero.

The Rocky Mountaineer heads away from the camera along the headwaters of the Colorado River with some fantastic fall colors west of Granby. As you might imagine, this is the best season for the Rocky Mountaineer.

Unfortunately, one of the two Rocky Mountaineer GP40-3s was down for the count and spending some time in the shop, so RMRX 8600 was filling in on this trip. The engineer offers up a friendly wave as the train passes Grand County Road 57.

A few miles west of Granby, the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer passes a green intermediate signal as it passes through a cut of golden cottonwood trees. This is a shot I've wanted to get for several years, and I was happy the opportunity finally presented itself!

The Rocky Mountaineer departed Denver this morning for Moab, UT. The two GP40-3s are working at the moment, so the SD40M-2 is being left behind in Denver with the SD18 that is used for switching.
