Approaching Simms Street, this GREX work train is headed for North Yard. The train has been working at Plain for three weeks as part of the effort to repair the washed out fill between Tunnel 2 and Tunnel 3.

The Moffat was closed on September 13th (Friday the Thirteenth!) when flood waters demolished the fill. Eight days earlier, UP opened the Moffat at night to a handful of coal trains. The fill still needed reinforcing though, so it has been 24 days since a train (other than a work train) ran on the Moffat.
