For nearly 15 years, I've been waiting for the opportunity to take a picture like this! When running on time, the eastbound and westbound Zephyrs are about as far apart as they can be when they make their respective stops in Denver. However, on this morning, the eastbound Zephyr from the night before was running 14 hours late and the westbound zephyr was running 2 hours late. Here, the eastbound Zephyr is on Track 1 and the westbound Zephyr on track 2, each for their respective stops.

Love this shot! Possibly when the Pioneer returns, this scene might be reanacted many times! Five star shot.
