When the Zephyr departed Chicago yesterday, AMTK 207 was leading the train and AMTK 140 was trailing. Upon arriving in Denver, the position of the units was swapped so that AMTK 140 was leading. I am not sure why Amtrak swapped the units, but it was likely due to some sort of mechanical issue. Consequently, the train is a little over 90 minutes late. The train met an eastbound loaded oil train at Leyden, still visible in the distance.
