Just east of the east switch of Flat, the eastbound Canyon Spirit is moving along at about 55 MPH, several dozen feet above US-40, which is down at to the left, out of the frame. The SD70Ms that the Canyon Spirit are borrowing from Union Pacific don't necessarily look the best, but it is great that they have an option available so the train can continue to run.
