I caught this BNSF Denver-Stockton train in Price River Canyon a couple of weeks ago. The red and orange oak brush around Lynn were pretty much peaked out, but the quaking aspens were saturated in the upper reaches of Price Canyon, especially between old Nolan and Kyune.

Local railfans long ago named this segment of the mainline the "gooseneck"...
