The dimensions of a 737 just happen to allow for the assembled fuselages to be hauled by rail! The fuselages are assembled in Kansas, and are hauled by rail to the Boeing plant in Seattle. There, assembly will be completed, with the wings and tail being added. Here are four such 737's at Tonville, making their wait toward Seattle.

The eastbound Zephyr is running 12 1/2 hours late as it approaches the west switch of Tonville. The train departed Emeryville, CA almost 10 hours late, and lost more time enroute. The train is trying to make up time as best it can, moving along at track speed as it passes by the frozen pond. Three P42DCs are on the point today, and in addition to the baggage car, there are Superliners in tow.

At first glance, you might guess this is a BNSF Z-Train. Particularly with the appearance of JB Hunt containers. However, this is actually a "Q" train that originated in Alliance, TX and is headed for Portland, OR, by way of Denver. The train is moving at track speed as it approaches a clear (green) signal at the east switch of Tonville.

The westbound Zephyr is moving along at track speed at the west switch of Tonville, about 20 miles east of Denver. The Zephyr departed Fort Morgan 23 minutes late, but is making up time here and will get in to Denver 17 minutes early. The small pond at the west end of Tonville offer up a crystal clear reflection of the Zephyr as it hustles west.

Got power? Despite the eight units on the point of this Chicago-Denver Z-Train, only the first four are online. All four blue units are DIC (Dead In Consist). They are General Electric test units. Specifically, they are ET44ACs, built to meet the EPA Tier 4 requirements for emissions. Rumor has it that they are going to be put in coal service for testing.

Just another GEVO? Look a little closer! The radiator housing has a higher slope and the compartment that houses the prime mover is a bit higher. This is a General Electric prototype for an engine that complies with the EPA's Tier 4 emissions requirements. The unit (GECX 2022), along with the GE dynamometer test car (#100), are on the way to the Transportation Technology Center east of Pueblo.
