On a clear, cold morning after a February blizzard, the westbound Zephyr climbs toward the east portal of Tunnel 1 in a frozen winter wonderland. AMTK 130, the Phase II heritage unit, is second up on the train today. February is generally the coldest month of the year in Colorado and this day is no exception as the temperature is only 2°F (-17°C)!

There are few scenes as beautiful as the one seen here, with a fresh layering of snow not only on the ground, but still in the trees, creating that powdered sugar look. A pair of P42DC, including AMTK 130 (Phase I heritage unit) keep the Zephyr rolling west on time just west of Tunnel 1.
