BNSF 1656 is still wearing cascade green and has its nose stripes as it leads an eastbound local between Fox and Sand Creek.

This train will ultimately head west on the Moffat for loading in Utah, but the power will first swap out in Denver. BNSF's Brush Sub dispatcher has informed the train that they will tie down on the track named "Coal 2", leaving room for six units on the head end. They have also been instructed to take the three units currently on the train to "the pit", meaning the fueling tracks, for servicing.

It was indeed replaced earlier in the day, and crews are now working to place fresh ballast to complete the work. The curfew actually necessitated the morning Zephyr being delayed by four hours, so it departed Chicago the day before four hours late, running at #1005 (instead of #5), with the entire schedule being delayed by four hours.
