The train will start running on December 19th with five Superliners (four coaches with a lounge car in the middle). In January, two more coaches will be added to the train. You can see the westbound Zephyr sitting on Track 4 to the left. After positioning the Winter Park Express on Track 5, the two lead P42DCs will move back over to Track 4 to pick up the Zephyr for the trip west to California.

It's not too often you see a quartet of P42DCs on the Zephyr! In truth, only the first two P42s here are the power for the Zephyr. The train departed Chicago yesterday with the equipment for the Winter Park Express. The last two P42s and the five Superliner beyond are all equipment for the Winter Park Express, which starts running next Friday.

When pulling out of Track 4 to move the Winter Park Express equipment over to Track 5, the derail out of Union Station was not aligned. One of the engineer's from AMTK 199 is on the ground and will hand-throw the derail. An RTD N-Line train is arriving Union Station to the left as a G-Line train is arriving to the right.

This morning, the westbound California Zephyr showed up in Denver with equipment for the Winter Park Express! The train backed into Track 4 and dropped off the passenger cars (and baggage car) of the Zephyr. Here, the first two P42DCs are the power for the Zephyr. The second two and the five Superliners behind are the Winter Park Express. The Winter Park Express will be set out on Track 5.

Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Rocky Mountaineer
The Rocky Mountaineer is getting close to the end of its 2025 season. It is not quite there yet though, as it sits in Track 5 at Union Station. The train is nearly completed loading and is set for an on time departure at 9am. RMRX 8600, a leased SD40M-2, is leading the train today, along with one of the two Mountaineer GP40-3s.

The westbound Zephyr, which is being led by AMTK 199 and (Phase 4 heritage) AMTK 164 this morning, is on the move out of Union Station. Scheduled departure is 8:46am, and indeed the train started pulling right when the clock hit 8:46am.

The morning Zephyr has just pulled out of Track 4 and Denver Union Station. It departed precisely on time at 8:46am. If you look closely at Track 5, you'll see there is a P42DC sitting there. I'm not sure why it is there.

Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Rocky Mountaineer
It took a little extra time to get out of the station today, but the Rocky Mountaineer is on the move with RMRX 8020 (a GP40-3) and RMRX 8600 (an SD40M-2) for power. RMRX 8021 is currently in the shop. The Mountaineer does not have trackage rights on BNSF, so it has to the take the long way out of town, heading northeast toward UP's 36th Street Yard, and eventually west across the Belt Industrial Lead.

Tried something a little different here, and took a wide shot with the drone. To accomplish this, the drop actually takes 21 pictures and then using internal AI to stitch them together into a wide angle shot. Here, we can see Coors Field, the Denver skyline, and the tracks leading in to Denver Union Station.

As the westbound Zephyr heads out of Union Station, three RTD commuter rail trains are on the roll. On the far left, an A-Line train from Denver International Airport approaches Union Station. It is meeting an N-Line train that is headed out toward Thornton. On the right, above the Zephyr, a G-Line train is arriving from Arvada.

Denver Union Station is just a couple blocks away from Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. In this shot, as the westbound Zephyr is departing from Track 4, the train passes by the stadium. From this vantage point, you can see the grounds crew working on the infield.

One of the two conductor's on the Winter Park Express, conductor Chris, is helping passengers by taking their equipment to load it onto the train. Both conductor Chris and conductor Antonio are absolutely amazing! They are friendly, kind, and always willing to help passengers in any way they can.
