The westbound Zephyr is between Tunnel 7 and Tunnel 8 in the heart of the Tunnel District on a beautiful May morning. The train is about to disappear in Tunnel 8 and, after emerging, the plains will no longer be visible. Tunnels 1-7 are along the eastern slope of the Front Range of the Rockies, but Tunnel 8 curves the tracks around the northeast face of Elderado Mountain, into the Rockies for the journey west.
