This is the scheme that was introduced in 2022 and is the new "go forward" scheme for Amtrak, replacing the Phase 5 scheme that has been the primary scheme since 2000. Superliners never really received a Phase 5 scheme per se. They received the new Amtrak logo, but kept the Phase 4b paint scheme with two thin red lines and a thicker blue line. However, Amtrak has started painting a few Superliners in what will be considered a Phase 7 scheme for the passenger cars. The scheme is very similar to the Phase 4b scheme. The thick blue line has been made ever thicker, and the thin red lines in the middle of the car have been removed. There is a section of the line that is the new darker blue, and a few white separation stripes. The Amtrak name and logo is now directly above the door.

More often than note, one or both P42DCs on the Winter Park Express will be changed out at least once or twice over the course of the ski season. This is usually due to required maintenance. Here, the pair bring the Winter Park Express along Kings Crossing Road on the west side of Winter Park. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is because the grade crossing is technically closed, as has been for about two years. A new underpass was built just west of the crossing, eliminating the need for the crossing. However, for some reason, the crossing itself not only still exists, but it is still power and responds when trains roll through. In this case, the westbound Winter Park Express, headed for Fraser.

The bridge was built around 2019 to bypass the grade crossing (which still exists) in the distance. Railroads have annual quotas for grade crossing removals. This is one that UP has been able to remove. Residents of Winter Park were happy as they did not have to wait for long oil (or occasional coal trains) slowly climbing the hill to the Moffat Tunnel.

Why former? There is a (relatively) new underpass that was constructed to bypass the grade crossing.
