On a beautiful September morning, the westbound Zephyr, with two private cars in tow, head toward the east portal of Tunnel 17. Tunnel 17 is the longest tunnel between Denver west to (but not including, of course) the Moffat Tunnel. Note the two private cars (Patrick Henry cars) on the end of the Zephyr.
