I really like the fact that BNSF still has a significant number of units still wearing original Santa Fe or Burlington Northern paint schemes (save for the patching). BNSF 1656 is still wearing cascade green and has its nose stripes as it leads an eastbound local between Fox and Sand Creek.

In a rare morning appearance, a 14-hour late eastbound Zephyr rolls through Commerce City, just beyond the diamond with the UP Greeley Sub at Sand Creek.

A 14-hour late eastbound Zephyr crosses the diamond at Sand Creek. The train is passing underneath I-270 after just by the Suncor Oil Refinery. Not too often that the Zephyr is headed east through here at this time of the day.

The westbound Zephyr is backing through the maze of heavy rail commuter tracks for RTD's A-line, B-Line, G-Line, and N-Line. The Zephyr will actually spend the day at Union Station and return to Chicago this evening.

When Amtrak received 20 B32‑8WH units from GE in 1991, at a time when the Phase 3 scheme was still the main scheme being used by Amtrak, the units received a unique variant of the Phase 3 scheme, often referred to as the "Pepsi Can" scheme. AMTK 160 has that unique scheme applied to it.

Backing up on the Buck Lead, the westbound Zephyr is about two hours late as it heads for its station stop. Downtown Denver and Coors Field (home of the Colorado Rockies) are both visible behind the Park Avenue viaduct in the distance.

AMTK 150 and "Pepsi Can" AMTK 160 make a reverse move across the very north end of the Pike Peak Subdivision on the Buck Main, toward Union Station. The two signals in the foreground are the start of CTC for trains headed south.

After arriving in Denver nearly 23 hours late, this Zephyr was supposed to arrive the previous day. And, due to severe weather and other factors, it is departing Denver and returning to Chicago. A rare morning departure from Denver to head east. The train is on the Passenger Lead, passing by BNSF's engine house.

It doesn't happen very often, but every once in awhile, there are two Zephyrs in Denver at the same time. Typically, that means one of them is running extraordinarily late, and this morning is no exception. The train in the foreground, led by AMTK 146, arrived a few hours ago as #5. However, it was a 22 hours late #5! And, due to extreme weather, it is returning east as #6, departing on the Passenger Lead. Today's #5 is now arriving in the background, making a reverse move toward Union Station on the Buck Lead.

Weather in the mid-west has been pretty severe the last few days, and it has been causing havoc on the Zephyrs. Yesterday's westbound Zephyr was running 22 hours late when it arrive in Denver. Amtrak ran buses between Denver and Grand Junction, so after a station stop, this Zephyr is now departing Union Station as the eastbound Zephyr (#6), heading back to Chicago.

The Zephyr has reached the east rim of Big Ten Curve, running alongside the wind break hoppers, which have been sitting on the inside of Big Ten Curve for roughly 55 years now! Each is a bit of its own garden box, with foliage growing inside.

I know I added a lot of shots of the Zephyr for this morning, but with it moving along at 10 MPH (due to a heat restriction), and AMTK 203 on the point, I could help by get several perspective. Here, the train is just coming up to the east rim of Big Ten Curve.
