The Zephyr departed Denver on time, but only made it about three miles before getting delayed about an hour. AMTK 169 developed mechanical issues, and the Zephyr picked up UP 6851 at North Yard. There was quite a bit of rain this morning during a fall thunderstorm, creating this overcast and damp scene just west of Leyden.
