An interesting situation developed came about this morning on the Moffat. There was a bit of congestion, with three westbound and two eastbound trains on the hill this morning, DS-378 had to get a little creative. The Winter Park Express entered the siding at Rollins behind BNSF's Denver-Provo, also in the siding ahead. Both trains met an eastbound UP coal load, seen here. After the coal load was clear, the Winter Park Express backed out the east end of Rollins, and continued west.
