The eastbound Zephyr is descending Big Ten Curve with a UP ES44AC on the head end. Hit the jackpot with the storm lighting this evening as there was a thin section of sky to the west between the clouds and the mountains, allowing the sun to light up the scene. The UP unit was added after mechanical issues developer with one of the P42DCs on Donner Pass.
