Photo ID: 107378 Date Shot Photo By Friday, March 16, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West of Leyden Arvada, CO 1237 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak An extended California Zephyr heads west of Leyden on a sunny March morning. Amtrak this morning has ten Superliners, including two Sightseer Lounge cars! That's because the entire train has been rented out for an event known as "Train Jam". The entire train is carrying software gaming developers on their way to the "Game Developers Conference" in San Francisco. Because the entire train has been rented out, and because all passengers have a common destinations, Amtrak will not be stopping at most of the stations along the route. Mainly stations that include a crew change. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

"Train Jam" is an event in which the entire train is rented out by a single group that bring along software gaming developers to travel by train to the annual Gaming Developers Conference held in San Francisco. Amtrak has added an extra sleeper, an extra coach, and an extra lounge car compared to the standard Zephyr compliment for the event.

This is due to the fact that this is actually the second of two lounge cars on this westbound Zephyr. The reason? The entire train has been booked for "Train Jam", and Amtrak has added an extra lounge car for the journey. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
