On a spectacular late winter morning in Spanish Fork Canyon, Amtrak's eastbound California Zephyr makes an eastward trek along the former D&RGW at Rio, Utah.
A rare opportunity to catch an Amtrak train on the Overland Route as #5 is seen speeding through Morgan, UT as noted by the giant 'M' on the hillside above the train.
Amtrak #5 coasts downgrade at Uintah with an old California Zephyr dome car on the rear. This train was detouring due to track work on the Moffat line.
The eastbound California Zephyr heads away from Green River.UT. behind 133 and 161. The autumn colours (fall colors) do their best to brighten the scene.
