It is something of a wild sight to see when the power and baggage car on the Zephyr are roughly the same length as the rest of the train! Four P42DCs lead a baggage car and six Superliners (two sleepers, a diner, a lounge car, and two coaches) up the grade toward Big Ten Curve. The second two P42DCs are not online. They were picked up in Denver and are catching a ride to Oakland.
