Cannot ask for better conditions than this, as the westbound Zephyr charges out of the west end of Rocky. This has the potential to be the last shot I take of the "standard" Zephyr of the last few decades. What do I mean by that? Both P42DCs are Phase 5, the baggage car is Phase 3, and all the Superliners are Phase 4b. Increasingly, as Amtrak shifts toward Phase 7 (including with the cars), it is more and more likely to see at least one Phase 7 engine or car on the Zephyr.
