The eastbound Zephyr, led by a substitute UP C44ACM and a standard Amtrak P42DC, rolls east along the impressive near-vertical walls of Little Gore Canyon. The train is between Tunnels 40 and 39. As you can see, the level of the Colorado River is a bit low. That is typical this time of year, but low snow levels from this winter, the river is likely not going to increase much this year.
