The California Zephyr is my favorite train, back in 1986, i rode the Zephyr from Chicago to Glenwood Springs in October, it was a beautiful journey, keep making more Zephyr videos 🛤️👍👍🙂

Enjoyed. it was cool to see the big 10 curve from track level. VRF has a new cam overlooking the curve that has a huge field of view. thanks

My favorite cam. Was fun recognizing these sights we see looking more like a layout😴

We came down this last September Eastbound in the dark so it's nice to see it on your film in daylight. When you watch it on the webcam from the mountain you don't appreciate the size of the terrain.

Really miss the Grande.

[@bobbybrisk643]

Wow! The Coal hoppers are still there. 35:50

[@chicnwing4519]

Supposedly there to block the wind

[@haroldreardon1407]

They are not going to be moved since they block high winds and the wind continues to blow.

Excellent video. It might be a bit nicer if you could consider slowing down the zoom transitions with future videos. Thanks...
