There are a lot of cars in the East Portal parking lot this morning as a lot of people came up this Sunday morning to check out the fall colors. I would wager that the vast majority of the people pay little attention to the UP coal load that is rolling by on the main track here, after just emerging from the Moffat Tunnel.
