The westbound Zephyr just emerged from the first of the 28 tunnels between Denver and the Moffat Tunnel. Amtrak has increased the pricing for hauling private cars and also reduced the number of stations from which they are willing to pick up or drop off the cars. As a result, private cars have become something of a rarity on the Zephyr. This morning, however, the Bella Vista dome car did indeed show up on the journey west.

In the OS at the east switch of Leyden, two ES44ACs with an SD70ACe sandwiched between them lead the eastbound HPVODEN. After meeting two trains at Rocky, the manifest now has a straight shot the rest of the way in to the yard in Denver. As is extremely common in summer, clouds are forming over the Rockies to the west, and will like come spilling out over the plains this afternoon.

After about four months of being used for storage, the siding at Leyden has now been open and available for meets for the last month or so. An eastbound BNSF manifest is not meeting anyone this here this morning, so it is on the roll on the main track. If you look in the distance on the siding, you can see switches for the house track, which has been out of service now for many years.
