Photo ID: 104930 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, January 17, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Dotsero Cutoff Eagle County, CO 1619 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Glenwood Springs (UP) Amtrak The eastbound California Zephyr is rolling on clear signals about two miles east of Dotsero. The train is running on time as it heads down the Dotsero Cutoff toward Bond. Amtrak is taking advantage of the slow season (ridership is generally down in winter months) and is reducing long distanced trains to just six Superliners. This is allowing them to refurbish some of the cars. Interestingly, while they are doing this, the Lounge Car is being placed directly behind the baggage car. Generally, it is in the middle of the train next to the Dining Car. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such was the case with the second unit on the eastbound Zephyr, seen here slowing for its station stop at Glenwood. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The tracks are straight as an arrow through the entire siding! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It just seems to peaceful. The Zephyr is on the Dotsero cutoff here between Dotsero and Range, following along the Colorado River. What more really needs to be said!?

The Zephyr is on the east siding at Glenwood Springs, pulling in to the clear. You can see a group of people standing on the platform, ready to load up for the trip east.

That made me determined to find a place to stop and shoot! A quick hike up from the highway yielded this result of the Zephyr on the main at the siding of Tunnel.

Now, it is Phase V P42DC's...but at least Amtrak is still around after 40 years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The units here have actually reached their destination as they will go into the west siding at Glenwood and then into the yard. Eastbound coal loads coming out of Grand Junction will stop in Glenwood and cherry pick a few units of this string for mid-train helpers for the trip back east.

Presumably, this is more for the passengers on the arriving trains, as you'd hope the people already here know where they are...
