Photo ID: 103735 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, May 12, 2011 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS038 (West Cliff) Pinecliff, CO 2607 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Amtrak, four P42DC's were painted in heritage schemes. Each scheme was inspired by a scheme previously used by Amtrak. The first of the four units to visit Colorado on the Zephyr was AMTK 156, wearing a Phase I inspired scheme with a Bloody Nose at a Pointless Arrow. I missed its trip west, but caught it coming back east. Here it is at the west switch of Cliff, looking dang good in my opinion.

Don't think that simply because it is May that the snow is over in Colorado! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This might be the first time an Amtrak engine in the Phase I scheme (with the Bloody nose) has ever run over the Moffat. Amtrak ran through Wyoming until the Rio Grande Zephyr ended in 1983, which was long after the Phase I scheme had been discontinued. Here, the Pointless Arrow crossed the road at Blue Mountain.

Personally, I would prefer any of the Heritage schemes to the current Phase V scheme...What do you think? Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
