Photo ID: 113672 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS002 (North Yard) Denver, CO 6 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak Amtrak has started applying the Phase 7 scheme to its Superliners. The required repainting is not nearly as complex as it is for the P42DCs. Here, a coach car has received the new Phase 7 stripe along its side. Not drastically different from the previous scheme.

Photo ID: 113670 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS002 (North Yard) Denver, CO 5 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak There are three trains either on the move or ready to go in this shot on this Sunday morning. The California Zephyr is, of course, on the move on the Moffat mainline with AMTK 171 and AMTK 203 for power. Behind the Zephyr is UP's MNYGR, ready to depart North Yard to head to the Greeley Sub and head north to Cheyenne before headed to Green River, WY. Another train that will also head through Cheyenne on its journey is BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The BNSF manifest will, of course, head north on the Front Range Sub. The train has received its track warrant and, after the Zephyr and the MNYGR depart, it will be BNSF's turn. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 113669 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, April 12, 2026 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS002 (North Yard) Denver, CO 5 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak The westbound Zephyr got trapped in Union Station this morning by BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The manifest was working on pulling out of the yard, but the air test and DPU linking took longer than expected, and the Buck Lead was blocked by the manifest. Once the manifest cleared, the Zephyr could depart. In this shot, the BNSF Denver-Laurel is to the left of the Zephyr. The Zephyr is now on the Moffat main, the only track under CTC jurisdiction in this shot, as it passes by CP DS002. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The clouds actually added some nice dynamics in this shot of the westbound Zephyr, which just left Tunnel 1 and is approaching the east switch of Plain around the bend to the west.

For five years, the P42DC has managed to elude me, but I finally caught it on this beautiful Easter Sunday. AMTK 100 and AMTK 25 lead the eastbound Zephyr through the Denver suburb of Arvada, running about 25 minutes late. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I think I've seen this one way more often than the Phase 1 through 3 heritage units. In any case, it is leading the Zephyr west around Big Ten Curve this morning, along with AMTK 23.
