Today was a mostly non-rail tourism day, as we needed to put miles behind us and get to Utah.
( Our Destination )
To get to Green River meant traversing a lot of Colorado, including our one train-related stop.
( A Look in at the Loop )
After our short stop at the Georgetown Loop RR, we continued west. Scenery was lovely, and we got a very good lunch. And then I pulled a goof that cost us an hour.
( To Glenwood Canyon -- Three Times in One Day )
After the unexpected delay after lunch in Eagle, we pressed on for Green River.
( More Massive Vistas )
We got into Green River much later than we planned. On a previous train trip, we overheard a conductor on the Zephyr dealing with a woman who had boarded the train without a ticket at Helper UT. He offered to take her as far as Grand Junction, but she said she wanted off at Green River. He strongly urged against this. Having had a look at Green River by road, we tend to agree. But we're only here for one night. Tomorrow we traverse the rest of Utah on our way to Wendover and our final night on the road.
