The mainline between Sulphur and Gore Canyon straightens out...at least relative to most of the mountain railroading of the Moffat...allowing for an increase in speed. Amtrak can actually go 70 MPH through here. This coal empty has accelerated up to around 50 MPH as it approaches a clear (green) signal at the east end of Flat.
