When the Rio Grande Zephyr was running, the stop at Green River, UT was considered a flag stop. Meaning the train would only stop if it was known in advance that there were passengers to drop off or to pick up. When Amtrak's California Zephyr took over for the Rio Grande Zephyr in April 1983, Green River became a regular stop for the Zephyr. That is still true today in 2025. The westbound Zephyr has just completed its stop at Green River, and is now passing a waiting coal train on the main track.
