UP's Moffat Tunnel in Colorado is one of the longer tunnels in the US. A lot of the other long tunnels have ventilation systems with doors. How is Moffat equipped? If so which end is it located?

Someone mentioned the grade peaks inside the tunnel. That fact would compound any system. Is this fact correct?
