Rio Grande Zephyr - Take 1
Title:  Rio Grande Zephyr - Take 1
Description:  I suppose a lot of the shots of the Rio Grande Zephyr from back in the day look somewhat similar. Still, it is always a pleasure to share them even if it is just to say, "yes, I was privelidged enough to see it in action". I caught it here working through Byers Canyon.
