Several years ago, UP installed a permanent derail on the siding at Rollins as it was not uncommon for train to be tied down here to wait for a recrew. As it happens, that is what is going on here with this coal train. The conductor is in the process of applying hand brakes on the train and, once done, he will come back here to the derail and align it for the derail position.
