Thanks for all the info, everyone.  I didn't know that the Tunnel wasn't being used  by Amtrak.  I came thru there on the original Zephyr in the 60's.  It seemed like it took 15 minutes to pass through the tunnel, it was dark for a long time.

 

Somewhere in this thread there must be something written to create that impression?   Amtrak CZ passes through Moffat Tunnel each way daily.
