It is very unlikely we will ever see a MRL-painted SD70ACe leading a train outside of (former) MRL territory as they are not PTC equipment. PTC will most likely be added when BNSF repaints each unit to BNSF colors, and each disappears into the sea of the orange.

This westbound BNSF Denver-Provo is in the siding, waiting on its counterpart to arrive from Fraser Canyon. The mainline is in the foreground. The siding completely diverges from the main. The reason for this was due to the fact that there was once a steam engine facility located between the main and the siding. Additionally, there is room for a wye between the main and the siding, which was used to turn steam engines that were used as helpers on the climb from Tabernash to East Portal. They'd wye at East Portal and run back to Tabernash, be wyed again and serviced. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Zephyr still runs exclusively with P42DCs. The new ALC Chargers require a fuel additive called DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) as they are Tier-4 compliant. Rumor has it that Amtrak has been unable to find a DEF provider for Denver. Denver is the refuel spot for the Zephyr between Chicago and Emeryville.

Plenty of snow still remains on the Continental Divide, as well as on the runs at the Winter Park ski resort. Note some of the houses in Tabernash in the background are located in between the main track and the siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
