The cabooses marked dismantle...Sad I wish you guys would identify these places a little better, though...Colfax. WHERE?? And when, although with a caboose, I guess we figure out when the video was taken.

Edit: Interesting way the cars on #6 are positioned. Two sleepers up front (no Transition/Dorm car as they did not exist yet I don't think), and the diner is all the way in the rear. Is this because the Desert Wind and Pioneer would be added later? Date: 04/14/07 18:54 Re: SP Extra 7531 East at Colfax Author: MaineLines Date was November 12, 1994
Date: 04/14/07 19:56 Re: SP Extra 7531 East at Colfax Author: tjohnson00 Love that old school Cal Zephyr consist with the diner bringing up the rear! During that time, a sleeper was used for the Crew until the transition cars came into play. That's my favorite consist of all time for Amtrak. Great Espee train following behind as well.
