The westbound Zephyr knocks down a clear signal at the intermediate at MP 14.6 just west of Leyden. It was a foggy morning and I was hoping to pick up some streaks in the fog from the headlight and signal. You can see the headlights a bit, but it wasn't quite foggy enough to capture more.

It's an extremely foggy morning as the westbound Zephyr approaches the grade crossing at Plain. You might be able to tell that the ditch lights are oscillating at this point. Considering the limited visibility, the engineer starting blowing the horn well in advance to make sure no cars were on the crossing.

This morning found a lot of fog and a bit of permafrost on some of the vegetation at Plain. As the headend rolls by, the fog is thick enough that you cannot see the last Superliner on the train! These conditions but be tough on crews, particularly when approaching grade crossings.

One of the best parts of riding the California Zephyr west out of Denver (in my humble opinion) is the ascent from Rocky up and along the Front Range. Alas, Mother Nature had some other plans for passengers on this morning. The Zephyr quickly disappears into the fog as it heads west.
