The Rocky out of Rocky
A westbound run of the Rocky Mountaineer follows Amtrak train 5 a few blocks behind (Amtrak was exiting Tunnel 2 while this train approached West Rocky), as it heads upgrade toward Big 10 Curve west of Rocky, Colorado, on October 12, 2022. The west switch of Rocky siding is in the cut above the cab of RMRX GP40-3 No. 8020, while the entire length of Clay…I mean Eisele…siding is on the level above, and will soon be traversed by the tour train.
