SP 185 east near Emkay with the Potash - Grand Junction manifest

Rule 101 of photography is don't include your car in the shot - oops! I could clone it out but for the minute I will leave it to show what you shouldn't do!

Since exiting the tunnel from Bootlegger Canyon, close to above the head end of the lead unit, the pair of ACs have taken almost 20 minutes to reach my vantage point due to the snail like pace. Meanwhile the clouds had started to become a problem, the shadow in the background was a bit too close!

 

I had a bit of a shock when I came to repeat this location when chasing the Potash local two years ago as the road behind had been dualled at this spot since this visit and I could not pull off, as the northbound carriageway was the other side of the median. Also the pair of Geeps were travelling a lot quicker than the ACs and were not far behind me so there was no opportunity to turn round and come back here.

 

The entrance to Arches National Park is just behind the hill on the left.
