    Sure looks like Clay siding to me, just off of Big Ten!
    About 5 miles west of there is Tunnel 17. Here's the CZ from atop T17, about to enter the tunnel and exit South Draw:

    And exiting Tunnel 17, about to pop into Tunnel 18:

    As my son and I set up for a train picture west of Fruita, CO we noticed that the distant train was stopped. As we loaded up and headed for the parked train we noticed that it was the evening Amtrak which was being boarded at a crossing by the local fire department EMS.
