Concerned that the crew might not make it to Pueblo, the train has come to a stop on Main 1 near the Nixon power plant. A relief crew has been called out of Pueblo to come and board the train to take it south to La Junta. The crew on the train will get on the crew van and be taken to Trinidad, CO for rest and to wait for a northbound to take back to Denver.
