Photo ID: 105971 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, May 25, 2016 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Fraser Depot Fraser, CO 1424 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak I have a goal to attempt to record all 207 P42DCs that Amtrak has recorded on "film". Well, I should say the goal is to get pictures of all the remaining units. Several have been scrapped after accidents. However, AMTK 7 is one unit that I hadn't seen yet when I took this shot in Fraser. At this point, I've got nearly 60% of them recorded.

As the sign on the platform indicates, Fraser is 8,574 feet above sea level. In this shot, passengers briefly stretch their legs and get a few pictures on the platform. On this day, there were two private cars on the tail end of the Zephyr. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

About 15 minutes before this shot of Amtrak arriving at Fraser, it was actually [i]snowing[/i] pretty hard here at the platform! The Zephyr is pulling in just after 12:30pm, arriving Fraser roughly 2 1/2 hours late. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Amtrak's age (and deferred maintenance) shows on the nose of AMTK 199. The train will hang around at Fraser for about 10 minutes to give passengers time to board or disembark.

A major rain storm passed through less than 20 minutes ago, but cleared out and left sunlight in its wake in time for the special. UP's DDA40X was last on the Moffat in April 2008.

In addition to picking up and dropping off passengers, Fraser is a designated smoking stop. The Zephyr is a nonsmoking train these days, so there are a few stops where passengers may de-train for a few minutes to get their fix. This is the inside of a Superliner I Sightseer Lounge car.

Here, the crew will make a cut and tie down the back portion of the train. Then, two gondolas will be set out on the house track. The hill on the right side of the shot is used for intertubing in the winter. You can also see the ski run at Winter Park in the distance, and even a ski lift atop the mountain in the upper right hand corner.
