It was this time of year roughly 12 years ago that a "500 year storm" hit Colorado when it rained for four days straight. In that storm, the fill between Tunnel 2 and Tunnel 3 completely washed out, shutting down the Moffat for roughly two weeks. Fast-forward to this day as a westbound coal empty crosses the fill, through the cut, and toward Tunnel 3. In the distance to the left, you can see the back half of the train, still coming through Plain.
