One of the two P42DCs on the westbound Zephyr developed a mechanical issue on the overnight trip across Iowa. When the train stopped in Lincoln for its scheduled station stop, the issue could not be resolved, so a BNSF ES44C4 was added to the point of the train. The snow has largely stopped falling here at Plain as the train heads west into the Rockies.
