This one's for the railfans. I waited ten minutes at the western end of the long Glenwood Springs platform for Amtrak 6 to appear one sunny March day. Luckily a Union Pacific freight arrived first and stopped to allow the eastbound Zephyr to get ahead of it, offering a good chance to get an interesting action railroading shot.
