The eastbound California Zephyr, running ahead of schedule, approaches the grade crossing at 66th Avenue. Both Amtrak and the (special) Ski Train were set to depart Fraser around the same time. The Zephyr got to run first and is about 40 minutes ahead of the Ski Train. The time difference is because the Ski Train had to wait for the Zephyr to clear the Moffat Tunnel and then wait for the tunnel to vent before it got its turn.
