A wide angle view of Big Ten Curve as seen near the east switch at Clay. The head end power is visible on the left side of the shot, headed west back toward the rest of the train. The hoppers that serve as a wind break on Big Ten are on the other side of the hill with the lone tree on the top.

This eastbound coal load heads east out of Clay toward Big Ten Loop. After leaving Clay, the tracks turn east and offer a wonderful view of the Denver-Metro area and plains beyond.

A different perspective of the east switch at Clay as an eastbound coal train leaves the block on an approach diverging signal. After a crew change to Rocky, this coal train will continue east to Chiles, KY.

Just east of the east switch of Clay, this eastbound MRONY is entering the upper end of Big ten Curve. In a few minutes, the train will be behind me, heading toward Rocky.
