Ruby Canyon
#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, paces the Colorado River through Ruby Canyon moments after crossing the state line into Colorado.
The present right-of-way dates back to around 1890 when the D&RGW rerouted the mainline through Ruby Canyon as it converted the route from Salt Lake City to Grand Junction to standard-gauge. The original D&RG narrow-gauge route bypassed the canyon to the north between Mack, Colorado and Whitehouse, Utah.
