Guess again! For reasons unknown, Amtrak had this extra train set sitting on Track 3 at Union Station for nearly a week. The train is a complete California Zephyr, but it seemed to be kept in Denver as a backup! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 101224 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, February 25, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Denver Union Station Denver, CO 2438 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak Once referred to as "Pepsi Cans" when they had their version of the Phase III paint scheme (and now referred to as "Diet Pepsi Cans" with the Phase IV scheme), Amtrak's 8-32BWH's used to be seen in the mid-west more frequently then today. Now, you typically only see one when it is in transit between the east and California. On this night, AMTK 518 was in town along with AMTK 658, an HHP-8 electric unit that was on its way back east from Pueblo, CO. Both units would be added to the eastbound California Zephyr.

Close to three hours of slow orders in between Reno, NV and Salt Lake City, UT currently cause Number 6 to regularly run anywhere between three and six hours late by the time they reach Denver.

The Union Station redevelopment project is going to call for the "commuter tracks" - including Amtrak and the Ski Train - to be lower under ground level within the next five to ten years.
