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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here, the three GE units on the head end knock down the signal at West Tonville. The west switch is located nearly a small pond that helps to offer a nice foreground.

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.

There, it may or may not need to clear the siding (there are multiple tracks off the siding long enough to facilitate the local), depending on whether or not the Zephyr has departed Denver and needs to meet the Z-Train.
