Bond, CO is a crew change point for Union Pacific (as it was for both Southern Pacific and Rio Grande too). Both eastbound and westbound trains (not running on the Craig Branch) stop in Bond. Westbound trains leave Denver with a Denver-based crew. Upon arriving in Bond, that crew goes to a hotel and a Grand Junction-based crew comes from the hotel. That crew gets on the train and takes it (to their home) in Grand Junction. There was an MNYRO in Bond that was swapping crews as I came through. The new crew started pulling toward the west end of Bond just as the westbound Zephyr came by on the main. In this shot, both trains are moving the same direction, the Zephyr on the main (with a clear signal ahead) and the MNYRO on the siding (with a red signal ahead).
