The Zephyr is picking up a private car, and the conductor is telling the engineer (in feet) how far is left before making the join. The two worked well together, earning applause from a group of passengers that watched the operation. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 104645 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, March 8, 2014 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Union Station Denver, CO 1801 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Denver Union Terminal (RTD) Amtrak I very much look forward to the next time I am able to board a Superliner for a journey! I really hope that, at some point, I get the opportunity to ride in a Sleeping Car...something that I have not yet had the priviledge of doing! Note the yellow light location to the left of the door. This is a visual indicator that the air brakes on this Superliner are applied. Once released, the light will turn green. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Zephyr is departing Track 4 and Train Hall 51 minutes late. There was a slight delay during the process of getting some "private varnish" attached at the tail end.

Hopefully, this is as a result of the ongoing construction and not the result of a change in policy! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The silver cabinets with the orange connectors at the base are labeled "Amtrak Shore Power Cabinet". This implies that power is available to private cars parked at the station.

Tracks 4 and 5 (right and left, respectively) can be utilized by non-commuter rail trains such as Amtrak. It is nice to know there are two such tracks so, in July, Cheyenne Frontier Days will have a place to stay! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
