I am not entirely sure what happened (or why), but the tail end of both P42DCs on the westbound Zephyr are covered in oil! It looks like it could practically drip off or be scraped off. At least one of the units (AMTK 27) is no longer loading. It is for this reason that a BNSF ES44C4 was added in Denver, adding an additional hour delay to the already-tardy Zephyr.
