With thunderstorms building to the north, the eastbound California Zephyr is about 50 minutes late as it rolls through Arvada. As we move closer to summer, the heat has been increasing, and UP has been putting out a lot of 10 MPH slow orders due to the possibility of sun kinks in the rails.

After meeting the eastbound Zephyr at C&S Junction, UP's MNYGJ is now on the move westbound through Arvada. The train is passing through the high/wide detector at MP 8.4.

There is a relatively narrow cut in the middle of Arvada between Carr Street and 68th Avenue. This time of year, when the trees have all their leaves, it appears as though trains just barely squeeze through. Here, UP's MNYGJ is on the roll westbound.

UP's MNYGJ is typically called (and departs) Denver west after sunset. It's possible that, with the days almost at their longest, the train is departing just prior to sunset. It's also possible that it just happens to be early on this Saturday evening. Either way, four units lead the manifest west in Arvada.
