Amtrak's California Zephyr, train 5, had 176, P42DC Phase VII, and 203 Operation Lifesaver scheme units crossing Colorado near Burns, CO, UP Glenwood Springs Subd - Dotsero Cutoff, Saturday, 14 March 2026.  The Colorado River was flowing nicely but Colorado has experienced a snow drought this winter season.

Great catch!  Only thing missing is the Vista-Dome monument.

It resides at the Colorado Railroad Museum, but I can't report on why and when.

Colorado Department of Transportation had it removed to the Colorado Railroad Museum when I-70 was built into Glenwood Canyon about two decades ago.

Great coverage of the meet at Grizzly in Glenwood Canyon! Such great power for the two trains.
