The train loaded in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, and is now making its way west across the former-Rio Grande. It is ultimately headed for the Valmy Power Plant in Nevada. The two coal-fired generating units at the plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2025, so this coal train is likely near the end of its life.

This is a great place to get ahead of near any train if you are chasing it west. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
