An eastbound Provo-Denver emerges from Fraser Canyon at the west end of Tabernash. The westbound Denver-Provo is waiting in the siding. As soon as the eastbound clears the west end, DS-378 will throw the west switch and the westbound will depart the siding.

The eastbound Zephyr makes a somewhat sharp right turn into the siding at Tabernash. The main and the siding are on very different alignments. This was originally done as steam engines were once based in Tabernash as a means of helping heaving eastbound up the grade to the Moffat Tunnel. Here, Amtrak skirts the mountain and some standing water at the west switch.
