Trains depart 10am MST, of course, but switching action begins at 8am, or earlier. Next Saturday, on opening day, there will be a double header, so, a lot of locomotive movement in the AM. Trains arrive at 4:20pm (-ISH), and, after disembark, there is train turning, and locomotive servicing till around 6pm.
During school sessions, there's freight train movement all day, and, during the Advanced Engineer class, there is yard switching all day.
