Don't you just hate it when your scanner breaks up at just the wrong times? I had heard the dispatcher contact this eastbound coal load and address them as "__P ___314 east" ... now, I didn't realize I had missed the leading six, and thought it might be SP 314! Alas, not that lucky on this particular day. The train is moving on an Advanced Approach signal, prepared to enter the siding at Leyden to meet four westbounds.

The westbound California Zephyr, running about 45 minutes late, heads west on the mainline at Plain on a clear signal. The train is just about to pass through Rainbow Cut about halfway through the siding. UP has been keeping the Herzog train on the house track at Plain for the past few months.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
The Ski Train F40PH's blow some extra exhaust in the distance and the Ski Train speeds up to reach track speed. Here at Cliff, track speed increases a bit for westbounds as the Tunnel District is now passed.

The (not-quite-metropolis) town of Rollinsville enjoys a quiet Saturday morning, save for the MNYPV rumbling west on the mainline led by a Phase-III SD70M. Rollins has been confused with Rawlins, WY in the past. A Renzenberger driver from Cheyenne was supposed to take a relief crew to Rollins late one night. When the crew woke up, they were approaching Rawlins, WY on I-80!

At the west end of Cliff, a coal train led by eight units blasts west along South Boulder Creek. This train was supposed to leave North Yard ahead of Amtrak, but after going into emergency twice when trying to leave, DS-86 held the train for Amtrak, the MNYPV, and the Ski Train!

The last in a parade of five westbounds to come out of Denver, this coal empty has a clear signal on the main track at Cliff. Ahead of this westbound is another coal empty, the MNYPV, the Ski Train, and Amtrak 5!
