AMTK 205 was involved in a collision with a vehicle the day prior to this photo. As a result, for safety reasons, the unit was set out here in the siding at Dell. There is also another P42DC currently in the siding at Newcastle west of Glenwood from a similar incident.

Now here is something I definitely did not expect to find in the siding at Dell! A single Amtrak P42DC. Unfortunately, the eastbound Zephyr the day before struck a vehicle not far west of here on the Dotsero Cutoff. For safety reasons, the unit was set out here in the siding at Dell.

The California Zephyr is always a scenic and amazing ride. However, the last week of September is one of the absolute best times of year to ride the Zephyr if you can. The train is just east of Granby, heading into Fraser Canyon ahead. Fall colors are at the peak, with the Fraser River lazily twisting around in the terrain.

The eastbound Zephyr is running just a few minutes late after making its station stop at Granby. The Zephyr is overtaking a UP coal load in the siding amidst a very vivid fall scene here in the small town of roughly 2,300 residents.

A nice treat this morning was to find Amtrak's Phase 4 heritage unit, AMTK 164, leading the westbound Zephyr as the train crosses East Portal Road between Tolland and East Portal. Fall colors are about as good as they are going to get, offering a spectacular ride for passengers.

In the rapidly fading light, the westbound Zephyr climbs up the east slope of Thompson Hill. The dirt mounds of the desert cast some crazy shadows in the low light, giving the desert a different feel from the middle of the day.

AMTK 60 and AMTK 190 lead the westbound Zephyr by the intermediate signal just east of Thompson. Union Pacific started replacing signals in the Utah desert 15 years ago. A project that seemingly has been abandoned. Some signals were replaced. Some new signal masts were erected with no signal heads and never completed, and others, like this intermediate, were never touched.

Running right around 40 minutes late, the westbound Zephyr charges quickly across the Utah desert west of Sagers. You can seen the tracks in the distance, winding their way across the desert.

After knocking down a green signal at the west end of Crescent, the Zephyr is on the move and throttling up as it heads for Tunnel 19 and the upper end of the Tunnel District. The train will be meeting an eastbound BNSF oil train, currently waiting in the siding at Cliff.

These two Patrick Henry cars are probably the two most common private passenger cars that catch a ride on the Zephyr these days. It was great to see them again on this morning, heading west at Crescent. You can see Gross Reservoir to the right, slowly getting taller as part of a project to triple the water capacity of the reservoir.

The westbound Zephyr has just emerged from Tunnel 18. From this vantage point, you can see the east end of Crescent, the grade crossing at Crescent, and Gross Reservoir in the distance. Of course, even further in the distance, you can see the mountains of the Continental Divide.
