Five on five on the fifth Amtrak’s westbound California Zephyr works upgrade out of Clay, Colorado, and is about to cross over Blue Mountain Drive grade crossing on November 5, 2010. No. 5 is running about six and a half hours late this day, and is led by GE P42DC No. 5.
The GE Genesis series are well known for being Amtrak's locomotive. With confirmation of retirement from Amtrak themselves, their time is limited. Now is your chance to catch them before the chargers arrive!
