After arriving 12 1/2 hours late in Chicago, it took Amtrak a little time to get the train ready for the trip west. It departed Chicago nearly five hours late the previous day, and departed Denver just over five hours late today. Here, clouds are keeping the train in shadows as it leaves west out of Leyden.

Not too far behind the westbound Zephyr, BNSF's Denver-Provo passes by Welton Reservoir just west of Leyden. The reservoir was built in 2002, and is a source of drinking water for suburbs west of Denver.

BNSF's Denver-Provo has five refrigerated box cars on the head end, very possibly carrying beer from the Coors Brewery. A significant portion of the rest of the train consists of tank cars, which is very common for the train. The train passes by houses in Leyden Rock, a neighborhood built roughly ten years earlier.
