After an extraordinarily dry winter, the Colorado River is running rather low through Byers Canyon right now. UP 4296 and UP 4519 are the (temporary) power on the Canyon Spirit. The units are filling in for the typical GP40-3s, which are currently getting repairs done after striking a truck in Rifle, CO several weeks ago.
