Too many trains and not enough track! This eastbound BNSF oil train was in the siding at Crescent, but could not fit between switches; the end of the train was hanging out the west end of the siding. Plain, Eisele (Clay), Rocky, and Leyden were all unavailable for a meet, so both the Rocky Mountaineer and the Zephyr came up to Crescent. The Zephyr got a restricting signal to follow the Mountaineer down the main. With the oil train finally able to depart east, the Rocky Mountaineer is now starting to pull to the west switch, as the Zephyr is stopped, waiting for the Mountaineer.
