The day is starting off overcast, but the clouds are thin enough to the east to provide for a spectacular sunrise. The Winter Park Express is west of Leyden, approaching a clear signal at MP 14.5. The Denver skyline stands somewhat silhouetted in the distance.

The orange sky of dawn in the east reflects off the side of the second run of the Winter Park Express as it approaches a clear intermediate at MP 14.5.

On a pleasant January morning, AMTK 193 and AMTK 156 are in charge of the second run of the Winter Park Express as it heads west at Crescent. I've wanted to try this angle for awhile and, other than a couple of annoying power lines that splice through the scene, it isn't all too bad.

The westbound Zephyr has a lot of time to make up as it departs Denver westbound. Guessing a failure in one of the P42DCs was a contributing factor to the delay as a BNSF ES44DC has been added to the point. The train is on Main 3, passing empty Bypass tracks and an empty North Yard Siding.

A sharp looking ES44DC leads the westbound Zephyr. The train has a clear signal at the Pecos Crossover on Main 3.

One of the P42DCs on the westbound Zephyr is kicking up a lot of exhaust! Perhaps this is the symptom of the problem that resulted in this BNSF ES44DC being added to the point for the journey west.

It frankly is not too often that I have the opportunity to shoot the westbound Zephyr in light that is this good! The train lost nearly three hours before leaving Illinois, and then continued to lose ground on the way to Denver. It is now a little over six hours late as it heads west on Main 2 between C&S Junction and Arvada.
