The last few years, the special move (designated the SOACB) has come over the Grande rather than the Overland. UP didn't exactly pick the most pristine power for the trip, with a faded UP shield on the front of UP 4784. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Guess again! For reasons unknown, Amtrak had this extra train set sitting on Track 3 at Union Station for nearly a week. The train is a complete California Zephyr, but it seemed to be kept in Denver as a backup! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train left Pueblo (about 110 miles south) the night before and barely made it past Colorado Springs before the crew died. The train was tied down on Monument siding until today when a new crew took the train north into Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

BNSF's so-called "Vomit Bonnet" was a test paint scheme applied only to BNSF 9647 shortly after the merger. This was a test paint scheme that mixed the colors from BN's "green and cream" scheme along with the pattern of Santa Fe's Warbonnet scheme. Rather amazing that, ten years ago, the unit is still roaming the rails! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Now, you typically only see one when it is in transit between the east and California. On this night, AMTK 518 was in town along with AMTK 658, an HHP-8 electric unit that was on its way back east from Pueblo, CO. Both units would be added to the eastbound California Zephyr.
