AMTK 182 and AMTK 4 lead the eastbound Zephyr down from Big Ten Curve on the approach to the west end of Rocky, still "slow rolling" along at 10 MPH due to a slow order. The slow order was most likely out due to forecasted high winds. It is also possible that it was out due to high heat and the potential for sun kinks in the rails.
