On this night, Amtrak was streaking the photographer! Temperature was about 22 degrees, wind was blowing hard and the snow was falling. I setup for a shot near MP 14 to grab the eastbound Zephyr zipping by. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

My dad was actually on this westbound California Zephyr coming back from a trip to Chicago. It's still 20 minutes to sunrise and the clouds were not helping with the lighting!

Photo ID: 102368 Date Shot Photo By Thursday, September 25, 2008 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 62 Fraser, CO 3295 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak As Amtrak's F40PH's started to age in the early 1990's, Amtrak starting looking for a new alternative to replace them. GE and EMD competed for the business and GE ultimately won with the P42DC. However, Amtrak did take a handful of F59PH's (EMDs answer to the F40PH). Since they all run in California, they are hard to find elsewhere. I was happy to capture it on this day! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is a very long, straight shot. In this picture, you can see the clear intermediate signal as well as the signal at the west end of Fraser.
