The westbound Zephyr got trapped in Union Station this morning by BNSF's Denver-Laurel manifest. The manifest was working on pulling out of the yard, but the air test and DPU linking took longer than expected, and the Buck Lead was blocked by the manifest. Once the manifest cleared, the Zephyr could depart. In this shot, the BNSF Denver-Laurel is to the left of the Zephyr. The Zephyr is now on the Moffat main, the only track under CTC jurisdiction in this shot, as it passes by CP DS002.
