Now off the old Moffat Road, the rest of this gallery will work back over Tennessee Pass. We find 3117 leading 5368 and 3074, as well as two other geeps, on this eastbound manifest. It's following the Eagle River just west of Wolcott, CO, in March of 1976

A bit further west, it's the same train again, except this time a bit nearer Eagle, CO.

A friendly trainman acknowledges the photographer as the 01522, the rear of X3117W rolls through Red Rock Canyon, just east of Eagle.

These five GP40-2s and GP40s should be making good time with this Ford train at Allen, CO. And they'd better be - on this August 1976 day, it looks like one of the Rio Grande's business cars is on the back (if you look very carefully).

One of the scenic highlights between Minturn and Dotsero is Red Rock Canyon, located between Wolcott and Eagle. In the summer of 1975, tunnel motor 5341 leads the 5352, 3106 and 3047 on a westbound manifest past the red cliffs.

The away shot of X5341W looking towards Eagle. The 40 foot SP box is assigned to lumber service as denoted by the diagonal stripe on the door.

We've moved into the Glenwood Canyon to observe the passage of X5341W. The Colorado
River is running high with muddy summer runoff on this mid summer day.

5341 and company wind continue west through the confines of the canyon. Massive construction a decade later would render shots in the canyon difficult if not impossible to get.

The cab bringing up the markers on X5341W winds along the river behind a long cut of empty hoppers.

GP30 DRGW 3015 leads GP40s 3050 and 3067 as well as two other unidentified GP30s coming around the corner into Minturn, CO, during March of 1974.

On a sunny summer afternoon in July 1976, SD45 5340 eases out of Minturn with a westbound manifest.

X5340W again, this time in Red Rock Canyon near Eagle. Given the mix of old and new cement hoppers on the head end, this is probably #177.
