The westbound Zephyr, running just a few minutes lates, makes its way through the S-Curve at Blue Mountain Drive with the Phase I heritage unit on the point.

In the last two weeks, the Zephyr has been the focus of several of Amtrak's heritage units. The Zephyr has seen Phase I, Phase III and Phase IV schemes all on the point. For the second consecutive trip west, the "Bloody Nose" Phase I schemed AMTK 156 leads the train west at Blue Mountain.

When Amtrak was formed in 1972, the first official logo used was the "Pointless Arrow". It, along with the bright red "Bloody Nose", were the two main staples of the first scheme. To celebrate 40 years, here a reinterpretation of the scheme as applied to a P42DC. Personally, I think it looks pretty sharp!

Amtrak's "Bloody Nose" heritage unit, AMTK 156, leads the westbound Zephyr up the (roughly) 2% grade toward Tunnel 1. This is the second consecutive trip on the Zephyr for the Phase I unit. No complaints from me as I hadn't seen it since 2011 prior to this.
