In August 2020, a wildfire named the Grizzly Creek Wildfire start in Glenwood Canyon and burned over 36,000 acres. You can still see some of the shrubs beneath the power of the eastbound Zephyr that suffered burn damage, as well as most of the slope to the right on the opposite side of the river as well. This afternoon, the California Zephyr has a UP unit giving it a hand. The train is on an Approach (yellow) signal on the main as it will be meeting its counterpart here at Grizzly.
