At Platteville, the MGRNY takes the siding for a meet with two northbounds. The first will be this trains counterpart, the MNYGR which departed from North Yard in Denver about 90 minutes earlier. UP 9795's train is 5500 feet long, which will easily fit in the siding. However, the train will hang out the north end of the siding for a little while so it can avoid blocking County Road 32, one of the main roads in town.
