The original crew on this UP coal train went "dead" on their hours many hours ago. Once a crew "dies" (runs out of hours to work), they are not allowed to lift a finger. When the new crew arrived, the old crew simply sat in the cab of the previous lead unit and waited. They finally get to head home, catching a ride on the Rocky Mountaineer. The Mountaineer just came to a stop to pick them up and take them home to Denver.
