Passenger Trains > Something odd going on in Glenwood Canyon

I've only been able to hear the DS part of most of the conversations, but for some strange reason an eastbound train, probably a coal load, is stopped between the Glenwood depot and just short of the tunnel just east of town. No. 6, which arrived a few minutes early, has been sitting since while they figure out how to get a relief crew to the stuck train (why they need a relief crew I don't know). I'll wait until I can figure out more about what's going on to go into it any further, but suffice it to say that #6 will be delayed, and depending on what else transpires, #5, which left Granby 0:27 late, may get dinged too.

EDIT: #6 on the move at 1:37 PM, 1:27 late. #5 may end up unaffected.

Train delays might be caused by the Shooting Range Fire near Byers Canyon west of Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado, which started at the shooting range August 24, 2015. 

So, Bruce, how did they get the relief crew out to their train? Hi railer? Crew walk out to the train?
