The westbound Zephyr had an approach (yellow over red) signal at the east end of Plain. Upon reaching the west end, they discovered they had a restricting (flashing red) at the west end. I'm not sure why that was the case, but the train will have to proceed west at restricted speed until it encounters a more favorable signal aspect. Restricted speed means the train has to be able to be able to stop in half the visible distance ahead.
