This westbound oil empty has reached the western end of the Dotsero Cutoff, at Dotsero. The train just knocked down a clear (green) signal at the east end. The same control point at East Dotsero also provides access to Tennessee Pass from the west. You can see the track just above the the spot where the oil train winds to the left. The Minturn Local (which hasn't run as far in Minturn in decades) still runs a few miles to Gypsum on the west end.
