Remarks & Notes 
Outside Auto Train, I believe this is the largest Amtrak train I have ever personally witnessed. Running 10 hours late on June 28, 1998, Amtrak’s westbound California Zephyr crosses Blue Mountain Drive grade crossing west at Clay, Colorado. Powered by P42DC Nos. 18 and 60, and “Pepsi can” P32BWH Nos. 508 and 505, the huge train is comprised of 24 cars of baggage, Superliners, material handling cars and express cars. In the background is the city of Denver, 22.5 track-miles to the east.

Everyone's favorite! Phase III was introduced in the late 70's and is now having a comeback.

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!
