The morning Zephyr is running right on time as it climbs the north side of Big Ten Loop. Roughly two inches of snow fell over the Denver area, marking the first snow fall of the 2024-2025 winter season. Fortunately, temperatures have not fallen too far yet, and it is currently right around 32°F (0°C) out as snow continues to lightly fall.

The westbound Zephyr knocks down a clear (green) signal at the east end of Eisele (Clay). Right around two inches of snow fell overnight and continues to lightly fall this morning, setting up a great scene for the passengers aboard the Zephyr.

The westbound Zephyr passes through the first winter scene of the season on the main track at Eisele (Clay). In the background, it almost looks as though there are two tracks climbing up Big Ten Curve. However, what might appear to be tracks on the right is in fact tire tracks in the snow created by MOW vehicles.

At the west switch of Eisele (Clay), there is a fantastic winter scene as the westbound Zephyr rolls through the OS. The snow is really sticking to the pine trees, subduing the colors. It appears that AMTK 144 has a little bit of damage on its nose.

On a snowy day with clouds hanging very low in the sky, the westbound Zephyr approaches the east portal of Tunnel 1. The clouds have actually lifted slightly in the last two hours, and should clear out even more later in the day.
