A BNSF Heritage 2 C44-9W, a Phase 5 P42DC, and a Phase 7 P42DC certainly make for a rather unique and highly colorful consist on the point of the westbound Zephyr! AMTK 174 experienced some mechanical issues, so the BNSF unit was added to the point in Denver. Now, running about four hours late, the train approaches the east portal of Tunnel 1.

In the OS at the east switch of Leyden, two ES44ACs with an SD70ACe sandwiched between them lead the eastbound HPVODEN. After meeting two trains at Rocky, the manifest now has a straight shot the rest of the way in to the yard in Denver. As is extremely common in summer, clouds are forming over the Rockies to the west, and will like come spilling out over the plains this afternoon.

After about four months of being used for storage, the siding at Leyden has now been open and available for meets for the last month or so. An eastbound BNSF manifest is not meeting anyone this here this morning, so it is on the roll on the main track. If you look in the distance on the siding, you can see switches for the house track, which has been out of service now for many years.

BNSF 5856 leads the eastbound Provo-Denver manifest, sitting in the siding at Rocky. The train had to wait for the westbound Zephyr, which you can now see on the main in the distance (above the manifest), heading west. Alas, the crew of the manifest do not get to release the brakes quite yet as another westbound is coming between Leyden and Rocky.
