Backyard America 1

We pulled into Denver on time (in fact, this time the westbound Zephyr remained remarkably on time throughout its run, arriving in Emeryville, CA, thirty minutes early).  I had awakened shortly before arriving, so used the non-moving time to eat breakfast in the dining car.  Amtrak services the train, adding fuel and water, and Denver includes a change of conductors and engineer, so the wait there is always lengthy.  By the time we pulled out, I was back in my roomette and had set up my camera.

This first photo is of the Burlington Northern or Union Pacific rail yards as we departed Denver.
