I have a goal to attempt to record all 207 P42DCs that Amtrak has recorded on "film". Well, I should say the goal is to get pictures of all the remaining units. Several have been scrapped after accidents. However, AMTK 7 is one unit that I hadn't seen yet when I took this shot in Fraser. At this point, I've got nearly 60% of them recorded.

A single passenger waits on the platform at Fraser, watching as the westbound Zephyr that he will board approaches from the east.

To the best of my knowledge, Fraser is the highest station stop on Amtrak's system. As the sign on the platform indicates, Fraser is 8,574 feet above sea level. In this shot, passengers briefly stretch their legs and get a few pictures on the platform. On this day, there were two private cars on the tail end of the Zephyr.

AMTK 199 leads the westbound Zephyr towards its station stop in Fraser. Amtrak's age (and deferred maintenance) shows on the nose of AMTK 199. The train will hang around at Fraser for about 10 minutes to give passengers time to board or disembark.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train, Amtrak
In the late 1990's, the Ski Train (owned by Phil Anschutz) wanted their own power so they no longer had to lease power from Union Pacific. In the 1997-1998 winter season, they leased two F40PHs from Amtrak to test them out. There were some power issues which made them realize they would need at least three units. Here, two Amtrak F40PHs sit on the Ski Train in the siding at Fraser. These would not end up being the units the Ski Train would eventually acquire.
