Looks good in download!
Seems like it wouldn't taken much effort to separate the Zephyrs for the railfan cameras.....

Nice shot. Too bad their hauling days are over.
It could be that they are in Alamosa to be put in service. I tried to get roster information etc but ran into a brick wall.

My Memory of the F7-A Diesel Train engine was in Greensburg, PA, back in the late 1950's and early 1960's when we took my Grandmother to the Station to catch the big Green P.R.R. Engine pull in and pick up Grandma and take her to Philadelphia to visit her Sister. Still see them occasionally online, but they are just "Specials", not regular service trains, Amtrak is today's regular passenger service.
