After switching, the train will continue east to Sterling, CO where it will receive a crew change. Nice to see a Warbonnet on the point!

This is the eastbound California Zephyr heading into Fort Morgan right around noon. Typically, the Zephyr hits this stretch of track between 9 and 10 o'clock at night, so catching it in daylight is very rare.

On this day, the Zephyr is running with only seven Superliners instead of eight, as demand is often down some in the winter months.

The weather was great all day long, and there are just a few clouds in the afternoon sky as this coal load heads into the setting sun. The engineer appears to be a railfan. If you look closely, you'll note a Trains magazine in the front windshield! We might have a closet railfan.... Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This coal load consisted of unit aluminum hoppers built in April 2009. The hoppers boast a "Rapid Discharge" system. Appears that a single door that spans the base of the hopper opens, allow the coal to be quickly dropped out. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
