A westbound BNSF oil empty approaches the bridge midway through Cliff that crosses over South Boulder Creek. Fall colors are looking pretty good here at Cliff, right around 8,000 feet above sea level. A pine tree has partially fallen here on the bank of South Boulder Creek, creating an interesting dynamic in the scene. The train is in the siding to meet the eastbound Canyon Spirit, already out of Rollins.
