Almost like the good old days in the 1950's when dozens of passengers trains came through daily. From left to right, a spare P42DC sits on a stub track. The eastbound Zephyr (running 14 hours late) sits on Track 1. The westbound Zephyr (running 2 hours late) sits on Track 2. UP power that had run on the point of the eastbound Zephyr were pulled off and placed on Track 3. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

When running on time, the eastbound and westbound Zephyrs are about as far apart as they can be when they make their respective stops in Denver. However, on this morning, the eastbound Zephyr from the night before was running 14 hours late and the westbound zephyr was running 2 hours late. Here, the eastbound Zephyr is on Track 1 and the westbound Zephyr on track 2, each for their respective stops. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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

It is 9:00am on Saturday morning and the eastbound California Zephyr is just getting into Denver. It is running just about 14 hours late at this point! Cold weather and mechanical problems were the primary causes. This is the reason for the pair of UP units, assisting the train on its journey east.

However, a little blast of sunlight on the lead units make this a nice black and white shot. Due to maintenance on the Moffat, the California Zephyr is being rerouted through Wyoming. Here, the train is on the approach to Green River, WY. This is about 200 miles north of Green River, UT, the typical stop for the Zephyr!
