The Phase 2 heritage unit has been the most elusive of Amtrak's specially painted units for me to personally get pictures of. The unit seems to have avoided the California Zephyr. I've only seen it a few times since it was unveiled in 2011. This morning, it, along with AMTK 164 (the Phase 4 heritage unit) lead the Zephyr west of Rocky.
