This westbound coal empty had an Approach (yellow) signal at the east end of East Portal as the Moffat Tunnel was completing its venting cycle after the Zephyr came through. However, the venting finished right after the train passed the east end, and it now has a green at the west end to head into the 6.2-mile long tunnel.
