On Friday, November 1, 2024, all three cars arrived near the South Platte River Bridge in Denver, Colorado via Amtrak’s train 5, the California Zephyr. BNSF GP39-2 #2854 picked them up and put them on a westbound train Denver to Provo, Utah later that evening. Photos and videos by Colorado Zephyr.

The cars left the BNSF yard in Denver later that evening. Video by Mike Manwiller at the HVHRA. He also took several photos near Grand Jct., Colorado the following day.
