This eastbound coal load is in the siding at Rollins, slowing to a stop at a red signal. It will be stuck here for about two hours. A westbound Denver-Provo went into emergency just west of Crescent and the conductor is walking the train. Once it starts moving again, the train will take the siding at Cliff and let the morning Zephyr pass by to meet the coal load here. Note that you can just see the single DPU on the back of the train in the distance.
