The morning Zephyr heads west on the main at Eisele (Clay). Interestingly, the Zephyr has eight Superliners this morning! There is a third coach on the train. For many years before COVID, this was the standard on the Zephyr. Since COVID, it dropped to seven. Is this a one time thing, or a sign that demand has picked up and Amtrak is adding supply to accommodate? Time will tell...

There aren't too many coal trains left on the Moffat, but there is a westbound empty on the move in the siding here at Rocky. It is meeting the MGJNY, and the meet will come close to being a rolling meet. A rolling meet is a meet in which neither train actually comes to a stop. The coal empty will continue rolling without stopping, but the manifest will come to a stop for about two minutes while the empty clear.
