With the sun so far to the south in the winter, the tracks in the east end of the Tunnel District move in and out of the the shadows. The head end of the Zephyr is approaching Tunnel 3 as the last two Zephyrs cross over the giant fill just west of Tunnel 2. This fill was washed out in the fall of 2013 when 500-year rains hit Denver, creating flooding conditions and washouts in many places.
