As rafters frolic on the opposite bank of the Colorado River, hugging the cliffs on the north side is Amtrak’s westbound California Zephyr approaching the Utah state line at Utaline, Colorado, on June 13, 2009. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy dome-observation car Silver Solarium passed this spectacular scenery through Ruby Canyon many times when carrying the markers for the original California Zephyr that operated on this route from 1949 to 1970.
