The westbound Zephyr has slowed down quite a bit as it knocks down a clear (green) signal at the west switch of Plain, ready to head into Tunnel 2 and the start of the Tunnel District. The west switch of Plain is also a check point for the Zephyr, and if you have your scanner with you, you can hear the crew call out "check point".

The westbound Zephyr passes in and out of the relatively short (214-foot-long) Tunnel 7 in the Tunnel District. Just ahead at Tunnel 8, the train will make a sharp turn to the left, taking it into the Rocky Mountains on it journey west.
