In an interesting reversal of the norms, the morning has been overcast and is only now starting to clear a bit before 10am. The head end of the Zephyr passes by the hotbox detector at MP 22.6. The tail end of the train is crossing Blue Mountain Drive. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In this shot, the train is just west of Tunnel 1, on the approach to Plain. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
