More than 9,000 feet above sea level, the westbound California Zephyr is on the main passing a UP manifest holding up on the siding at East Portal. Amtrak is about to plunge into the 6.2 mile long Moffat Tunnel. The manifest has been stuck in the hole while waiting for an eastbound coal load and now Amtrak.
