The crew went on duty at 11am, but the train didn't leave Denver until 4:30pm. Now, due to a fair amount of traffic on the Moffat, the train is holding. Here it will wait for the eastbound West Local, which was east of Leyden as of this picture. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It appears as though this track may converge with the existing track at CP 7.5. The new track will likely be used for holding coal trains that need to be recrewed between Lamar and Tennyson. The new track will allow DS-86 to continue to run trains around the tied down train.
