The westbound Zephyr is on the main at Plain, splitting a BNSF oil train on the main and a lot of maintenance equipment in the house track at Plain. The equipment is part of a significant maintenance project that UP is currently in the midst of undertaking. You can even see a lot of fresh ballast on the tracks here at Plain.
