This equipment is from the former Grand Luxe Express (and before that, the American Orient Express). The cars were purchased by Phil Anschutz, who just sold the Ski Train. The reason? Well, that isn't clear just yet... Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The two Amtrak P42s had issues in California and needed a little help from UP! The train is running nearly 24 hours behind schedule here as the train wraps through Barbara's Gulch.

Fortunately, on this day, the cars are being sent to Burnham where employees of Phil Anschutz will work to get the cars into good working order.

The crew is not familiar with the north end of the Joint Line, so a crew that is familiar had to come and ride with the Moffat crew to get them there safely.

The Colorado Rockies play a night game against the San Diego Padres at Coors Field in the distance. It is the first game with probationary coach Jim Tracy after Clint Hurdle was fired earlier in the day. The Rockies won, 3-0.
