This eastbound military train was so long, it would not even fit between switches at Rocky! Indeed, the only two sidings between Denver and the Moffat Tunnel that the train would fit on are Rollins and Tolland. The other seven sidings on this side of the divide are all too short. Regardless, the train departs the east end of Rocky, headed for one of the bypass tracks in Denver. There, a relief crew will soon take over, taking the train east on to the KP and across the plains to Fort Riley in Kansas.
