On a rather gloomy summer morning, the westbound Zephyr is running about three hours late due to some track maintenance projects that are creating some bottlenecks.

It is a bit of a dark morning this morning as a (somewhat uncommon) morning thunderstorm rolls through the area. The morning has seen winds along the front range of up to 60 MPH, resulting in a slow order for Amtrak ahead around Big Ten Curve.

Running about three hours behind schedule, the westbound Zephyr makes its way around the curve toward Blue Mountain Road. The good news is that there are no eastbounds for the Zephyr to contend with, and the train already has clear signals all the way to Winter Park.

Clouds in the sky that are part of a morning thunderstorm create an interesting pattern as AMTK 207 and AMTK 150 lead the Zephyr west at Blue Mountain Road. AMTK 207 is the highest number P42DC on Amtrak's roster and was also the one most recently delivered. It arrived on the property in 2001.

When the Winter Park Express ran between January and March, Lyft was a sponsor of the train and four Superliners had this wrap applied to them to advertise both the train, and Lyft. Three months after the end of the Winter Park Express for the season and a few of the coach cars still have the wrap applied!
