The eastbound Zephyr is on the main at the south end of North Yard, alongside a lot of double stack containers in BNSF's Rennicks Yard. One of several thunderstorms has moved east and is continuing to drop a lot of rain on the eastern plains. The train is approaching an approach signal at Fox Jct.

A massive summer thunderstorm has passed through the area and is moving out onto the eastern plains. The sun is breaking through the clouds to the left, offering some great storm lighting as the eastbound Zephyr passes alongside North Yard and Rennicks, just about 15 minutes away from its station stop at Union Station.

The eastbound Zephyr departed Fraser almost an hour late, but made up about 45 minutes on the trip down the Moffat. Here, it is on the main, coming by North Yard (UP) and Rennicks (BNSF). Tracks 1-5 are all empty of cars this afternoon.

After a perfect on-time departure at 8:46am, the westbound Zephyr has left the yard tracks behind and is on the mainline heading west. The track the Zephyr is on is UP's Moffat mainline and is CTC-controlled by UP's DS-378 in Omaha, NE. The tracks behind the Zephyr are the UP yard tracks in North Yard. The tracks in foreground on the opposite side of the Zephyr are BNSF, and part of their Rennicks intermodal facility.
