Rocking Through Peterson
Doug Harrop Photography • June 10, 1983
The class engine of Union Pacific's fleet of six GP40X locomotives leads Amtrak's San Francisco Zephyr train No. 6 through Peterson, Utah. In five additional weeks, the SFZ moniker would vanish from the Amtrak timetable, replaced by the new California Zephyr, and routed via the D&RGW between Salt Lake City and Denver.
Looming in the background are the snowy flanks of 9,579 ft. Mount Ogden. The winter and spring seasons of 1982-83 were extraordinarily wet, and the parallel Weber River was up to its banks, and loaded with silt.
