The westbound California Zephyr is currently northbound in the siding at Platteville, passing by some Swift trailers parked nearby. A wildfire in Glenwood Canyon has closed the tracks and, consequently, the Zephyr is being rerouted through Wyoming between Denver and Salt Lake City. The train will meet its counterpart here.
