It is very interesting that a pair of DC-powered units (DC traction motors) are on a coal empty. These days, it is very rare to find anything other than AC units on coal trains, empty or loaded.

UP 4014 is putting on a fantastic show in the early morning as it heads west on the Moffat on the North Yard Siding. So yes...Big Boy has officially run on the Moffat Tunnel Sub! But it will only get as far as just west of C&S Junction so it can back down Bypass 2, across the Belt Line, to the Greeley Sub.

The Rocky Mountaineer got out of town just in time, as both Bypass tracks are now plugged with trains. Bypass 2 has a coal train on it (behind the camera). At the time of this photo, there was a new rumor floating around that UP is planning to start running all oil trains through Wyoming and over Soldier Summit, cutting out the Moffat. Time will tell...

BNSF is the only US Class 1 railroad that has not done a true heritage unit. However, in 2020, for the 25th anniversary of the creation of BNSF, they released several of these anniversary units with stickers of the key railroads that went into making BNSF. Not exactly a true heritage unit, but better than nothing! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train would normally be on Main 3 (second from the right), but UP's MGJNY arrives just minutes earlier and is working on getting into North Yard. To avoid delaying this train, DS-378 aligned it east on Bypass (Main) 2. At Pecos Crossover, the train will move to Main 3 to continue east to BNSF's 31st Street Yard.
