On Sunday, September 16, 2018, a wildfire just east of Provo Utah, right by the trackage caused a westbound Zephyr to backtrack for three hours to Grand Junction. The disruption is expected to last at least three (3) days, or longer, depending on how long it takes for the wildfire to be contained or controlled enough to the point that it is safe enough for trains to pass through.
