A couple of unusual things to note about the westbound Zephyr in this shot on Father's Day morning. First, the lead unit is P40DC #824. Now, technically, this unit has been rebuilt to P42DC standards, but the number makes it a bit unusual as not many (ex) P40DCs are still running on Amtrak's roster. The second oddity is the lack of a baggage car. Interestingly, the is actually the norm for the Southwest Chief to run without a baggage car, but that is far less common with the Zephyr.

A pair of Patrick Henry private cars (the Evelyn A. Henry and Warren R. Henry) are bringing up the tail end of the westbound Zephyr this morning. These are probably the two most common private cars to appear on the Zephyr in recent years. Amtrak greatly increased their fees for hauling private cars, and imposed many restrictions on where they could be picked up or dropped off. That has led to a significant decrease in private cars making appearances on Amtrak.
