You can see the classic target signal standing along the main on the right side of this shot. Meanwhile, a colorful Denver-Provo manifest sits in the siding to allow the westbound Zephyr to pass.

Each scheme was inspired by a scheme previously used by Amtrak. The first of the four units to visit Colorado on the Zephyr was AMTK 156, wearing a Phase I inspired scheme with a Bloody Nose at a Pointless Arrow. I missed its trip west, but caught it coming back east. Here it is at the west switch of Cliff, looking dang good in my opinion.

I personally am very glad that UP started putting the wings on the nose of their units again. The nose is just too darn plain and boring otherwise...

In other words, you diverged slightly whether you were staying on the main or taking the siding. Union Pacific has done away with that, however. Now, the main curves to the left before reaching the switch. Here, a westbound coal empty runs over the switch, passing the MNYRO which is tied down on the siding.

No relief crew is available to take this train west, so here at Cliff it will sit and wait! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
