UP's Limon Subdivision sees very little traffic these days. Indeed, the line can go more than 24 hours without seeing any trains at all. Indeed, in the post-coal boom, pre-oil boom time period, the line was so slow, that UP stored cars on several sidings as well as the main, blocking the line as a through route! That lasted for around six months between April 2020 and October 2020. Here, an eastbound oil train is between Deer Trail and Agate, paralleling I-70.
