Just at the base of low level morning clouds, the westbound Zephyr is just west of Tunnel 1 as it heads west on the Moffat. UP 6851 was added on the point of the Zephyr in town. The unit is freshly painted, but interestingly has the flag on the long hood, yet is missing wings on the nose. A paint scheme I have not seen before.
