The Zephyr knocks down a clear (green) signal at the west end of Yarmony. This is one of the newer sidings on the Moffat. The siding of Yarmony has existed for many decades. However, it was a relatively short siding (less than 5,000 feet) that UP rarely used after the SP merger. Which is why, when a derailment at the west switch occurred, UP did not reconnect the siding! The switch was completely gone. After nearly a decade, UP finally invested the money to relocate the east end of the siding just west of a grade crossing, and extend the siding to the west, creating the 7,760 foot siding that it is today.
