A westbound UP oil empty is in the siding at Eisele (Clay). Fortunately, this particular oil train is short enough to fit between switches. The third unit on the oil train is kicking up a bit of exhaust while idling. The conductor of the oil train is on the ground to give the eastbound Zephyr a roll by, making sure he does not spot any problems. The oil train will be stuck here for two more eastbounds: a loaded oil train, and the Winter Park Express.
