San Francisco Zephyr east of Denver -- Nov 74
Author: gcm

Someone may know the name of this siding east of Denver as the westbound SFZ races by - with 3 engines.
Looks like a Purina plant was on the left.

Well done. I looked at the first image and thought it would be a great place for a photo. Then I looked at your second photo and appreciate it even more.

Nice shots! Old BN RR train crews based at McCook, NE and worked to and from Denver. Denver based engine crews worked to and from Akron, CO.
