Crested Butte Branch extra 474 east, shows 10 minutes spot car on main? Is this something that would be typically done? I assume spot means, "place for customer"? This train also went from 46 loads 2 empties, to 46 loads, did they spot 2 empties there?

Mile Post 310 was the location of derailment on Nov 15. The car(s) spotted there to pick up scrap, or material, etc.
Either 2 cars were left there or the 2nd empty was the caboose and was not referred to as an empty at Gunnison.
There is no mention of what transpired with the car(s) on Nov 19.
