            Denver & Rio Grande Western westbound Rio Grande Zephyr is entering the station area with a portion of the city downtown business section seen in the Rifle, Colorado, Summer 1980.  This part of Colorado is known as a cattle area with nearby ranches.  It is interesting to view all of the various gas stations in the background, Chevron, Phillips 66, Texaco, etc.  Also an interesting modernized heavyweight coach is seen in the middle of the photo, that has a turtleback roof, new window panel with what appears to be thermopane windows, lower body skirts and mostly likely AC installed.  Many time cars such as this also receive roller bearings and tightlock couplers.  There are a number of sidings seen in this photo which are evidently used to serve the area.  It appears that a rain storm is nearby in the distance.
