This heritage unit represents my personal favorite paint scheme of any Amtrak has had. This is the Phase III scheme which was used from the early 1980s until the mid-1990s.

Winter blew in quite early this year, as several inches of snow fell the day before. It is still a chilly, overcast scene today as AMTK 145 leads the Zephyr west out of Tunnel 1.

Leave it Colorado to come up with crazy weather. In a 16 hour period earlier this week, the temperature dropped from 95°F to 32°F. Several inches of snow fell when there are still nearly two weeks left in summer. Not even fall yet and you get a unique scene like this. AMTK 145, the Phase III Heritage Unit, leads the Zephyr west out of Tunnel 1 toward Plain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Two weeks before the end of summer and the westbound Zephyr makes its way west through a few inches of snow after a very early winter storm the day before. The Zephyr is just about on time as today it is running as Train #1105 (instead of Train #5). It departed Denver two hours later than normal to accommodate UP maintenance.

An early winter storm came through, putting down a few inches of snow on September 8 and 9! The coming forecasts shows ever flake of this snow will be gone within 48 hours as temperatures look to rise back in to the 80°Fs. Meanwhile, passengers on the Zephyr enjoy it all as they head west.
