Here is a mighty colorful Zephyr! Ironically, for the second day in a row, one of the P42DCs on the Zephyr developed a mechanical issue upon reaching Denver. Thus, a UP unit was added to the point to assist with the journey west to Emeryville. AMTK 188 and AMTK 69 join the UP unit. Many trees in the Arvada neighborhood of Five Parks are around their peak color.
