First time I've seen locomotives running back-to-back on the CZ in a long time. Good catch, Agent!

 

 

Thanks.  Seems they run them back-to-back every now and then.

AMTK 145 is going back west leading Amtrak #5(06).  The train was on time at Agency, Iowa.  It met #6(04) west of Ottumwa.

Amtrak #6(09) with AMTK 145 leading was fifty minutes late at Agency, Iowa today.  Nice engineer on this California Zephyr.

145 is taking another round on the California Zephyr.  Amtrak #5(12) sped westward through Agency, Iowa about eleven minutes late.

145 is heading back east on Amtrak #6(25) after an extended stay in California.  This California Zephyr was about half an hour late at Agency, Iowa.

145 is heading back west on Amtrak #5(28), but it is the second unit now.  The California Zephyr was on time at Agency, Iowa.

Amtrak #6(01) brought 145 through Agency, Iowa today as its second unit.  This eastbound California Zephyr was over an hour and a half late.  It had a nice engineer too.

AMTK 145 led Amtrak #6(07) through Ottumwa, Iowa today.  This eastbound California Zephyr left the station over two and a half hours late.

And I was able to capture this image of 6(7) at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, running about one hour late on 8 May.

AMTK 145 is the second unit on Amtrak #6(09).  This Chicago-bound Zephyr was close to an hour and twenty minutes late when it passed Agency, Iowa.

Amtrak #6(15) was thirty-five minutes late when it passed Agency, Iowa this morning.  145 is still second out.
