Locomotive: Burlington Northern Railroad EMD E8(A)	Location/Date of Photo: Fort Morgan Fort Morgan, Colorado, USA September, 1972
Locomotive No./Train ID Unknown AMTK 6	Photographer: Jim Hinkhouse Contact Jim Hinkhouse + Add to Favorites

Remarks: At dusk, the eastbound San Francisco Zehpyr departs from Fort Morgan, bound for Chicago, with three ex-CB&Q diesels, but a rainbow consist, including three ex-GN Sky Blues immediately behind the baggage car. Amtrak was still trying to replicate the dome service of the California Zephyr ... however, this train's dome view features the high plains of Wyoming, rather than the Rocky Mountains, as Rio Grande continued providing its own Denver-Salt Lake City service via the Rio Grande Zephyr.

Locomotive No./Train ID UP 1989 AMTK 6	Photographer: Joel Hinkhouse Contact Joel Hinkhouse + Add to Favorites

Remarks: At just before 6pm, UP 1989 leads train #6 a little more than 2 hours late into Chicago Union Station ... this was fortunately timed, as the sun in the summer gets far enough north in the early evening to get a nice shot on an inbound (north-facing) Amtrak (and allows folks who work until 5pm to get to Roosevelt St. Bridge in time). This was a nice surprise. Thank you to UP's Ogden, UT asset manager for the fine loan to Amtrak.
