An eastbound coal train descends the descent (for the plains) grade located at Cedar Point, about 10 miles west of Limon. This former siding has now been downgraded to a very long stub track! If you look closely, you may notice that there is no switch with the main track in the distance. The track just comes to an end. UP removed the switch a few years ago. On this beautiful afternoon, a single SD70ACe brings up the tail end of the train.
