Note the orange bag that is covering the coupler on the front of AMTK 75. This bag is to prevent snow and ice from building up on the coupler and in the knuckle. This is because the power must run around the train at Fraser. AMTK 75 will be the trailing unit for the journey east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is slightly longer than Eisele. This is pretty typical for coal train at Eisele as Eisele is one of the shorter sidings on the east slope of the Moffat.
