The east portal of Tunnel 1 is a fantastic spot for a shot of westbounds in the morning, as the tracks actually head (more or less) east, putting the train in great morning light. As a result, I like to try to explore some different perspectives. The lower view up toward the tracks was just right for the Zephyr with AMTK 176 and AMTK 203 on the point.
