BNSF 5886 leads the Denver-Provo out the west end of Barbara's Gulch, underneath the CO-93 overpass. The train is running not far ahead of the morning Zephyr. The manifest will actually be taking the siding at Rocky to allow the Zephyr to run around.

Two DPUs bring up the tail end of the westbound BNSF Denver-Provo manifest. The train is headed in to the siding to wait to allow the morning Zephyr, which is running about 1 hours and 45 minutes late, to run around it.

The westbound Zephyr arrived in Denver 9 minutes late, but ended up departing 1 hour and 45 minutes late. The reason being that AMTK 139 (the second P42DC) developed a mechanical issue. AMTK 142 is a "protection unit" that has been kept in Denver. Essentially, it's a spare unit for just such an occurrence. Three units is a little unusual to see on the Zephyr. Unfortunately, it mean that AMTK 161 (the Phase 1 Heritage unit) was no longer leading. Here, the westbound highballs through Leyden.
