The westbound Zephyr has a very colorful consist this morning, with a BNSF ES44C4 on the point, and AMTK 164, the Phase 4 heritage unit, second out. The BNSF unit was added to the train in Lincoln, NE overnight due to a mechanical issue with one of the P42s. I am not sure which one or what the issue was. The train is on the main at Plain, passing by the house track on the approach to Rainbow Cut.
