The morning Zephyr heads west on the main at Eisele (Clay). Interestingly, the Zephyr has eight Superliners this morning! There is a third coach on the train. For many years before COVID, this was the standard on the Zephyr. Since COVID, it dropped to seven. Is this a one time thing, or a sign that demand has picked up and Amtrak is adding supply to accommodate? Time will tell...

Anything look weird or out of place in this picture? The crossing gate for opposing traffic at the 66th Avenue grade crossing is stuck up. This crossing has a center median and "quad gates" because it is a quite zone. When working properly, trains do not use their horns at this crossing. However, since the crossing gate is malfunctioning, trains are currently using their horns here.
