Remarks & Notes 
Rio Grande's Intermountain Power to Valley Camp coal train (with UP pool power) challenges Amtrak's California Zephyr to a race through the Red Narrows of Spanish Fork Canyon on July 29, 1990. Both trains were moving at maximum authorized speed, however the fluted, stainless steel Superliner won out in the end. The advantage of Centralized Traffic Control and bi-directional Two Main Tracks is evident here.

America's Passenger Train. While some feel passenger equipment now looks all the same, the scenery is still breath taking and the locomotives and equipment look great.
