The original Amtrak #6(12) train set is still on the move. It departed Mount Pleasant, Iowa at 7:34 AM approximately 21 hours and 40 minutes behind schedule.

There's an Amtrak Alert saying #6(12) is running a "make-up section" from Salt Lake City to Chicago. Not entirely sure what that means.

Amtrak #6(09) may have disappeared from all of Amtrak's train tracking tools, but it's still out there and still on the move. I caught it east of Ottumwa, Iowa running just shy of thirty hours late. But in fairness, if it wasn't for the change to Daylight Saving Time, it would only be...

#6(09) is not having a quick trip eastward. Video shot today by Michael DeMarco shows the Zephyr passing Winter Park, Colorado over twenty hours late.

The California Zephyr is traversing Donner Pass again so more Chargers from the batch of six that left the factory mid-February are on the move. Marcel Hall filmed Amtrak #6(09) yesterday with new ALC-42s 321 and 325 at the Richmond, California station. Also, there was an extra lounge car on...

The ALC-42 had its revenue service debut for the Coast Starlight today with AMTK 306 leading Amtrak #14(8) out of Los Angeles. Marc Caraan caught the train leaving Union Station. It was later filmed at Oxnard, California by Fan Railer.

YouTube user BERSERK posted a video yesterday of the northbound Silver Meteor with the Charger AMTK 316 on the end of the train. I'm guessing this move is related to crew familiarization. On the other side of the continent, Amtrak UP Railfanning posted a video today of #11, the southbound...

Maybe one set can be saved to put on display at a future presidential library (or maybe it can be the library :) ).

I was at the Ottumwa, Iowa station today as Amtrak #6(16) arrived with Chargers 324 and 323. The train was about two hours late.

Yesterday, YouTube user Sky Rider caught a ferry move of six brand new ALC-42s fresh out of the Siemens factory. The units are AMTK 321, 323, 324, 325, 326, and 327. Amtrak #6(16) left Emeryville today with new Chargers AMTK 323 and 324 behind the P42s. Sky Rider caught this California...

The equipment for the Winter Park Express went west on Amtrak #5(10). Two P42s and five Superliners. No wrap advertisements on any of the cars this year. First run was today with a couple local Denver television stations covering it.

Amtrak #6(22) left Emeryville, California today with new ALC-42s 322 and 320. It was filmed leaving the Emeryville station this morning by trainandaviationspotter. This eastbound California Zephyr was then later filmed by Sky Rider at Hercules.

Brand new Chargers AMTK 318 and 319 are on the move on Amtrak #6(03). Sky Rider filmed this eastbound California Zephyr yesterday. Adam Ghimenti also filmed this train at West Sacramento.

There are not currently any Chargers on the California Zephyr.

These two varnishes are returning east on Amtrak #6(14). I caught it just east of Ottumwa about to be stuck following the yellows of an eastbound freight train. Which I find weird, as I can't remember #6 getting stuck behind a freight leaving Ottumwa before. Usually they're good at geting #6...

The westbound California Zephyr out of Chicago on Tuesday has two private cars bringing up the markers. They are the Berlin and the dome car Northern Sky. I caught the train running about half an hour late and about half an hour after sunset.

The three newest Chargers left Chicago last night on Amtrak #30(04). Chicago Line RailfanProductions caught this eastbound Capitol Limited at Chesterton, Indiana. Today, this train was filmed by DMV Area Railfan at the Rockville, Maryland station.
