I think this might be my favorite shot of the day of this Union Pacific passenger special that ran east on the Moffat and then south on the Joint Line. UP deadheaded the train from Grand Junction to Fraser last Sunday. It sat at Fraser until this morning when several VIPs, including UP CEO Jim Vena, boarded the train for a trip to Colorado Springs, CO. In this shot, the train is leaving the Rockies behind as it approaches the west switch of Leyden.
