The eastbound Zephyr is running just a few minutes late after making its station stop at Granby. The Zephyr is overtaking a UP coal load in the siding amidst a very vivid fall scene here in the small town of roughly 2,300 residents.

An eastbound UP coal load is making final preparations to depart the siding of Granby eastbound. Take notice of the two "yellow/red" board that are either side of the track, near the front of the train. Union Pacific has a "Form B" (a work zone) setup between MP 75.65 and MP 75.88. The work zone is protected by similar looking "boards", but they are all-red. Trains are not allowed to pass the red boards without explicit permission from the track foreman in charge of the work zone. In this case, crews are working on the new platform at Granby.

The (relief) crew on this eastbound UP coal load are getting close to being ready to head east. The conductor is knocking off hand brakes. Unfortunately (for the crew), DS-378 will be holding them here at Granby until the eastbound Zephyr passes by. Certainly the correct call by the dispatcher to try to keep the Zephyr moving.

The original crew on this UP coal train went "dead" on their hours many hours ago. Once a crew "dies" (runs out of hours to work), they are not allowed to lift a finger. When the new crew arrived, the old crew simply sat in the cab of the previous lead unit and waited. They finally get to head home, catching a ride on the Rocky Mountaineer. The Mountaineer just came to a stop to pick them up and take them home to Denver.
