Model Railroader Photo of the Day: Eastbound coal train

With the eastbound loaded coal train clear of the Clay Siding switch, the engineer aboard Denver & Rio Grande Western GP30 no. 3007 is waiting for the dispatcher to give his westbound train permission to get back on the main. Mike Danneman of Arvada, Colo., took the photo on his N scale Rio Grande layout.
