In the distance, UP's Board of Directors Special is approaching with UP 1989 on the point. The Granby depot still stands, used twice a day for the California Zephyr.

In the wee hours of the night before, a westbound coal empty tied its train down at Granby due to a track gang working further west. Twelve hours later and the train is still tied down in the siding. Meanwhile, a train heading for the Energy Mine on the Craig Branch with a live crew passes by on the main track.
