After knocking down the clear (green) signal at the east end of Thompson, the westbound Zephyr is continuing at track speed on the main alongside the 7,210-foot siding. The siding here at Thompson is one of only five that are available for meets over the course of roughly 100 miles in the Utah desert. 12 other sidings are being used to store cars. Note that a P40DC is actually leading the Zephyr on this nice May evening.
