Not the best light for this shot, but with the blue sky and the lingering snow, I decided to include it. Also of interest is the trio of mid-train swing helpers. Rumor has it that the cars ahead of these units are headed for Roper. The cars behind are headed for Grand Junction. After arriving in Grand Junction, the train can be cut ahead of the first swing helper and the front half can continue west to Utah.

This train seemed very familiar when I took this picture! The reason being that I shot the exact same train less than 24 hours earlier between Leyden and Rocky. Two derailments resulted it in taking 36 hours and four crews to get the train from North Yard to this spot at Tolland.
