On the start of its journey to Salt Lake City, #17 Rio Grande Zephyr snakes across the switches at Denver Union Terminal behind 5771 5762 253 and 5763 in March 1982.
A remnant of the original California Zephyr, this train offered great dining and many as five Vista-Dome cars for viewing the Rocky Mountain Scenery. It was the last train to be replaced by Amtrak.
