I was heading north on the I-25 Frontage Road (just south of Castle Rock). Upon seeing the headlight, I pulled over to get some shots, expecting a coal train. Much to my surprise, there was only a single ES44AC headed south! Not even sure exactly where it was off to...

Earlier in the day I saw an SD70MAC (BNSF 9412, if memory serves) that helped a coal load up to Palmer Lake. Afterward, it returned on Main Two to Big Lift.  
 
Do you know where this guy was headed, seeing as how he isn't on the tail end of a train shoving at the moment. :)
