There's not a lot of daylight left as this westbound coal empty moves up the siding at Rollins. The empty will actually be moving across the Utah desert toward the CV Spur.

This coal empty is about to do something that is repeated thousands of times a year...make the 6.2 mile-long journey beneath the Continental Divide through the Moffat Tunnel! The curtain is up, the signal is yellow and the train has clear tracks ahead.

Approach Diverging! The intermediate signal at MP 14.6 indicates to the approaching train that the train will be going in the siding at Leyden.

The setting sun puts on a good show with the clouds in the western sky at sunset! The orange reflects off the rails in the foreground parallel to Highway 72.
