The train will have to go as quick as it can up to Speer as the ZLADV will be there before long, ready to head south to Denver. The flat car sitting on the house track to the right has been there for over six months. The car literally broke in two on a work train. It was welded back together (as a temporary fix) and was setup here. UP hasn't gotten around to dealing with it yet. More than likely, the car will be cut up and scrapped right here, on the spot.

I never did hear exactly why it was making the trip back to Chicago, but it made for a nice (and unexpected!) addition to the Zephyr.

Here, the Zephyr is headed south on UP's Greeley Sub at Carr. The lead P42DC does not have cab signals, so UP 4473 was added as a pilot for the trip from Salt Lake to Denver.

P42DC #67 is actually pulling Amtrak backwards through Arvada eastbound toward Denver. A rock slide in the Tunnel District made this necessary. The conductor stood in the back of the P42 and spotted the reverse movement for the engineer. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The southbound coal load here is staying on Main 1, but the ownership of the rails is changing from Union Pacific to BNSF.
