20-25% of the time, BNSF's Provo-Denver will tie down in the siding at Rocky rather than making it all the way to Denver. There are a number of reasons this might happen. The top two generally are either that the yard in Denver is not yet prepared to receive the train, and/or the crew on the train does not have enough time left on the clock to make it in to the yard before "dying" (hitting their hours of service). Here, one such Provo-Denver sits idle in the siding at Rocky with no crew, the derail at the east end of the siding set.
