California Zephyrs Meet in Glenwood Canyon - 1968

I shot this photo of the California Zephyrs meeting in the snowy depths of Glenwood Canyon on my way home from Vietnam on January 17, 1968. I took the picture along the Colorado River from one of the train's five vista-domes. The siding here is at a location called Grizzly, across the canyon from the outlet of Grizzly Creek (my train is on the siding).
