A couple of unusual things to note about the westbound Zephyr in this shot on Father's Day morning. First, the lead unit is P40DC #824. Now, technically, this unit has been rebuilt to P42DC standards, but the number makes it a bit unusual as not many (ex) P40DCs are still running on Amtrak's roster. The second oddity is the lack of a baggage car. Interestingly, the is actually the norm for the Southwest Chief to run without a baggage car, but that is far less common with the Zephyr.
