I am not one of those railfans (I'm more of a diesel-era railfan), but I find the complexity of the machinery fascinating nonetheless!

The steam engine was built in the 1940's for Union Pacific and was in fact the last steam engine delivered to UP. A fitting tribute to an era many decades gone now.

First of all, passenger trains seldom pull power-first into Union Station. Second, the Union Station redevelopment project is going to allegedly bury the station tracks, making it hard to get trains and Union Station in the same shot!

This run will turn around in Pueblo (for the Colorado State Fair) and return to Denver on the Joint Line. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Guess again! For reasons unknown, Amtrak had this extra train set sitting on Track 3 at Union Station for nearly a week.

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.
