It is well after sunset as a fresh UP crew ("fresh" meaning a different crew from the one that took the train to Winter Park) works to wye the train so it is prepared for its next run.

This time, the Ski Train backed down the inbound lead toward 36th Street. An interesting shot of the train with Coors Field in the distance.

The eastbound Zephyr is just about 45 minutes early on this particular night! The P42DC - AMTK 50 - on the left side of the frame is kept in Denver as a backup in case one of the two units on #5 or #6 needs to be swapped out.

This is because #6 (the eastbound Zephyr) is the only one of the two Zephyr's to use it. And it is typically well past nightfall by the time it is using it. But arriving 45 minutes early was key in helping me get this shot! The Zephyr is backing down the lead into Union Station.

The cab perhaps? You'd be correct! This is one of only five such units built and sent to Burlington Northern. The GP50 is equipped with a "crew cab" that can comfortably seat five crew members. I've been very fortunate with these units as this is the third of the five that I've manage to shoot! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
