Remarks & Notes

Attempts to emulate the classic California Zephyr shot in Glenwood Canyon with the RGZ was always made difficult by the RGZ passing through the canyon seemingly earlier in the day to the CZ. Here 5771 5762 5763 make their way alongside the fast flowing Colorado River in the depths of Glenwood Canyon in June 1981.

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.
