This eastbound coal load is slowly approaching a red signal at the west switch of Mesa. The conductor was copying a new track warrant from DS-86, and a green signal would shortly follow. The bridge in the distance is new and will carry the commuter rail line north to Denver International Airport. A major fall thunderstorm is moving in to town from the west.
