Two dome cars on the California Zephyr

[Agent]

Amtrak #5(17) has two private dome cars on the end of it. They are Puget Sound and Sierra Hotel. When I caught this train in Agency, Iowa, I got a horn salute from a friendly engineer.

As a side note, does anyone know why this train is in a service disruption? I know #5 isn't going past Reno, but the past few days haven't had a disruption. The California Zephyr was nearly an hour late tonight.

I believe Shanghai is on that train on his way from CHI to DEN.

Hence the delay & service disruption? :giggle:

We thought only the_traveler had that kind of pull.

Thanks.

These dome cars came back east on Amtrak #6(19) today. They were placed right behind the engines since the consist was in reverse order.

This video is from a location I haven't filmed from before. Although, if I had noticed the dome cars would be on the Zephyr today, I wouldn't have experimented with a new place.
