Once referred to as "Pepsi Cans" when they had their version of the Phase III paint scheme (and now referred to as "Diet Pepsi Cans" with the Phase IV scheme), Amtrak's 8-32BWH's used to be seen in the mid-west more frequently then today. Now, you typically only see one when it is in transit between the east and California. On this night, AMTK 518 was in town along with AMTK 658, an HHP-8 electric unit that was on its way back east from Pueblo, CO. Both units would be added to the eastbound California Zephyr.

If you look closely, just to the right of the 518's plow, you can see an F40PH for the Ski Train.
