Nice to come across an MRL SD70ACe working in the Powder River Basin. MRL 4309 was in between two BNSF units. The three units might be serving as manned helpers on Logan Hill. Since the MRL units do have PTC installed, that might explain why it is in the middle of two BNSF units.

Three light units head east on Main 3 at Crossover 45.3 east of Reno Junction. BNSF does run manned helpers up Logan Hill for some underpowered trains, but those helper sets are usually two units. Not sure if this is a three-unit helper set, or something else.
