The morning Zephyr is viewed from the north side of the rails at Rocky as it approach the turnout to the Rocky Flat Industrial Lead, seen climbing the 8% grade up the hill to the left. There are a lot of clouds on this mostly overcast morning, allowing for some shots from the usually shady side of the tracks.

Just west of the west switch of Rocky, the morning Zephyr is running on time as it works to climb the grade on Big Ten Curve. AMTK 187, sporting Amtrak's Phase 7 paint scheme, is on the point for the journey to Emeryville, CA.
