My favorite train ride had to be my last trip on the Rio Grande Zephyr. My wife Chris and I made a round trip from Salt Lake to Denver and return about two weeks before the end. It was one of the last trips before the big slide at Thistle shortened the run to Grand Jct. Our then one year old son Justin was with us. I remember how friendly the crew was even though it was near the end. Have a great photo with Justin sitting on the conductor's lap wearing his hat with a big smile. We met Wayne and Linda Monger in Salt Lake as we boarded the train neither of us knew the other was planning this trip. It was a great time with a Wednesday layover in Denver so it wasn't a huge rush. Met lots of great people on that trip. It was a blast.
