Looking down from US-40, we find a rift in the frozen ice covering icy cold waters of the Colorado River. We also find the private cars Silver Rapids and Silver Solarium as they make their way east through Byers Canyon on the back of the California Zephyr.

Note: The "Silver Rapids" apparently has been renamed the "Silver Smith"...either temporarily or permanently, I'm not sure...
