A pair of brand new ACS-64 (built by Siemens) are being moved on the Zephyr from California to Chicago. There, another train will take the engines to the Northeast Corridor. The units feature cabs at both ends of the unit and are, of course, electric. You can see the pantographs (red) on the top which can be extended to connect to the catenary above the rails for power.

After a slight delay stopped at the depot in Grand Junction (due to a mechanical issue), the eastbound Zephyr is back on the roll in the town of Fruitvale just outside Grand Junction. The train has a fresh crew on board. Grand Junction is a crew change point for Amtrak. The eastbound Zephyr has a crew run it from Salt Lake City (home base) to Grand Junction (away base). Then, a new crew hops on to take the train from Grand Junction (away base) to Denver (home base).
