Is this desert railroading or what? A very early morning sun.
The rolling stock is above the cab, this curve is pretty radical.

Splitting the signals at Chamiso, this train is gliding through the gentle S Curve getting ready to go through Benson.
Swooping up into the curve going near Sibyl, this UP westbound is sure in a hurry to Tucson.
The impressive looks of this 4400 horse hunk of American Steel travel along the curve at Manzoro.
With the Palo Verde overpass down during this time due to renovation. This scene looked a little different for a couple months.
