This southbound BNSF coal train is currently stopped in "The Sag", just north of Palmer Lake. Southbound loads often stop here to cool their traction motors and/or wait on northbounds. It was here that the Santa Fe main once went over the Rio Grande main. With the creation of the Joint Line, Main 1 now zig-zags a bit, and heads down a grade briefly, hence the "sag".
