Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak
The eastbound California Zephyr, running ahead of schedule, pops out of the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel. After the train clears the west switch, the fans in the tunnel will turn on to vent the exhaust from the tunnel. Once that process is complete, the (special) Ski Train will be able to load its passengers at Winter Park, just over six miles to the west.

I must admit, I sure wouldn't mind being a passenger on the Zephyr on this day! The westbound Zephyr heads down the main at East Portal, about a mile away from the Moffat Tunnel.

The westbound Zephyr knocks down a clear signal at the east switch of East Portal. The train is running roughly 45 minutes late at this point.
