The West Local has an Advanced Approach (flashing yellow) signal at the intermediate west of Leyden. The train will head down the main at Rocky so it can get to the Rocky Spur, but DS-80 has not yet set up a signal at the east end of Rocky. If anything happens with the sole-remaining customer at the north end of the Rocky Spur, the West Local will fade into the history books. So I figure it is worth shooting now, as much as possible. On a side note, UP 1359 is ex-DRGW 3118!
