Seven Superliners is a pretty typical consist for the Zephyr in the winter months as this time of year tends to see fewer bookings. The train is charging west at about 60 MPH (track speed) as it hustles through Leyden. The train has to take advantage of the higher track speed while it can, because in another four miles or so, it's time to slow to about 30 MPH!
