UP's eastbound MGJNY slowly rolls east on the main at Plain in a heavy spring snowfall. PTC onboard UP 5306 seemed to believe the green signal at west Plain was not in fact green, and sent the train into emergency after the train passed the green signal. The engineer has recovered the air, and the train is now slowly continuing east.
