A flood near Osceola, IA washed out the tracks early Saturday morning. Consequently, the westbound Zephyr was delay for a few hours. By the time it departed Denver, it was running about five hours late. Here, the train rounds the curve at the east end of Leyden, doing its best to make up for lost time.

While passengers probably aren't too happy when the westbound Zephyr is running five hours late, I like it strictly from a railfan point of view. Why? The lighting at 1:30pm is better for a westbound than it is at 8:30am! A tree frames the westbound Zephyr as it hustles - quite late - through Leyden.

The five-hour-late westbound California Zephyr heads west down the mainline at Leyden. The train has a fairly typical summer consist that includes a baggage car, four coaches, three sleepers, a dining car, and a sightseer lounge car.
