A Trailways Silver Eagle coach, running as a substitute for the last run of the Rio Grande Zephyr, makes a station stop at Provo, Utah on the morning of April 24, 1983. Due to the Thistle landslide that closed the mainline April 14th, the Denver & Rio Grande Western chartered buses to protect train service between Salt Lake City, Utah and Grand Junction, Colorado. On this day, the last charter bus met waiting train No. 18 at Grand Junction for the final eastward run through the Rockies down to Denver.
