An SD70ACe leads an eastbound loaded oil train in the siding at Rocky. DS-378 has set up a great meet with the westbound Zephyr, which is just to the east, entering Barbara's Gulch right now. After the meet, the oil train will continue east to Denver.

The morning Zephyr is running right on time today, as it rolls west through Barbara's Gulch. An eastbound oil train awaits the Zephyr in the siding at Rocky. Fortunately, DS-378 set up a good meet, and the oil train is already clear of the west switch, so the Zephyr will not be delayed.

The morning Zephyr meets an eastbound oil train at Rocky. DS-378 has already set up a clear (green) signal at the east end of Rocky, and the train is getting ready to continue to Denver. Meanwhile, the Zephyr passes by the seldom-used Rocky Spur (or Rocky Flats Industrial Lead).
