East Portal is not one of the more commonly used siding for meets, let alone for tying down trains! However, the MRONY was indeed tied down here...smiley face at all!

A few fall colors are still evident from up on Rollins Pass looking down into the valley where the Moffat Tunnel is located. The tunnel itself is actually obscured in fog, but an eastbound MRONY (tied down in the siding) and a westbound coal empty are visible.

A westbound coal empty holds short of the grade crossing at Tolland to wait for an eastbound. Now that Tolland has been extended to the east, the entire coal train can sit on the siding without blocking the main or the grade crossing!

An eastbound coal load (with some nice power to boot) is approaching the west switch of Leyden. The train will be going into the siding at Leyden to wait for at least one westbound to come out of Denver.
