The sun is in perfect position to light this westbound coal empty heading west on the main at Rollins. Some fresh ballast was recently laid down on the main.

A new crew is getting ready to take the coal empty on the right west out of Rollins. However, they aren't quite ready yet and DS-82 is running this coal empty around the other one. For trains heading east, the speed limit here is 35 MPH for passenger trains and 30 MPH for freight trains.

An eastbound coal load sits in the siding at Rollins. It received a new crew from Denver after a derailment earlier in the day was cleaned up. Turns out that crew would sit in the winter wonderland for the day as a second derailment would keep this train from moving an inch.

After a good run up the hill from Denver, it is time to sit for awhile! This westbound coal empty is in the hole at Rollins and will have to wait not only for the Ski Train, but for the eastbound Zephyr as well.

There's not a lot of daylight left as this westbound coal empty moves up the siding at Rollins. The empty will actually be moving across the Utah desert toward the CV Spur.

Within the past few months, Union Pacific removed the code line along the tracks opening up several new photo angles. Once such angle here sees the MNYRO working west about a half mile away from the west end of the siding.
