Often times when a westbound coal train must meet an eastbound at the siding of Plain (Plainview), Dispatch 82 will instruct the coal train to hold short of the grade crossing so as not to block cars in until the eastbound is close to Plain. Such is the case with this westbound, holding short of the grade crossing on a winter morning.

This eastbound coal load is leaving the siding of Rocky behind as it moves east towards Barbara's Gulch. At this point, this train is also changing dispatchers, going from UP Dispatch 82 to UP Dispatch 86.
