The train was only doing 10 MPH at this point after getting flagged past the east signal at Leyden. An intermittent block detection was the culprit.

If you are at west Leyden when the Zephyr is passing Chemical, you'll be hard-pressed making it to east Leyden ahead of him!

The train came from Provo, running through much of Utah and Colorado in the dark. It is supposed to be heading to Pueblo, although I don't know where the cars are going specifically once they get there; where they will get more pipe.
