After a couple months off from taking pictures (and getting married!), I finally made it track side again. I was surprised to find one of Amtrak's heritage units (AMTK 184, Phase IV) coincidentally on the train. Unfortunately, it was not leading the 4 1/2 hour late Zephyr.

It may just be a roster shot, but you gotta take advantage any time you are lucky enough to catch a unique unit! AMTK 184 is wearing a Phase IV heritage scheme, part of a program honoring Amtrak's 40th birthday.

The Moonlight Dome, of Chessie and C&O heritage, was catching a ride on the back of the Zephyr on this day. The car is privately owned and lives in Salt Lake City.

This is a scene that has the potential to change drastically in the next decade. The city of Arvada is expanding in this area. Land in the area has been zoned for both residential and commercial and construction has started. CO-72 is in the process of being widened to four lanes from two. This is also the location where the Jefferson Parkway toll road, which would complete the "470 loop" around Denver, would run. That is, if funding can ever be found and the cities involved can agree upon its construction. Amtrak in this shot would be passing underneath the parkway!

For reason I was unable to determine, the Zephyr lost over four hours between McCook, NE and Fort Morgan, CO. Alas, the results being a high sun with a lot of back lighting for this shot at Plain.
