AMTK 160 leads the westbound Zephyr around Big Ten Curve. AMTK 160 is sporting a heritage paint scheme traditionally referred to as the "Pepsi Can" paint scheme. The 20 P32-8s that Amtrak purchased in 1991 were painted in this scheme as a bit of a variation on the Phase 3 scheme.

The westbound Zephyr ran in to a pretty serious delay between Princeton, IL and Galesburg, IL the previous day. The Zephyr lost nearly four hours between the two cities. It lost some more time on the journey west, and ultimately departed Denver roughly five hours late. The train makes its way through Eisele (Clay) on the main track.

After roughly nine months with no specially painted Amtrak units on the Zephyr, we actually got two in two days! Today, AMTK 160 wearing the "Pepsi Can" scheme is leading the train west out of Eisele (Clay).

This shot of the Zephyr passing the detector at MP 22.6 offers a pretty great comparison of the so called "Pepsi Can" paint scheme on AMTK 160 and the standard Phase 5 scheme on AMTK 193.

AMTK 160 sports a great looking "Pepsi Can" paint scheme as it leads the westbound Zephyr on the climb up from Coal Creek Canyon up to Tunnel 1.

AMTK 160 and AMTK 193 lead a baggage car and seven Superliners in a standard winter consist. The train is making track speed as it climbs up to Tunnel 1.
