I actually got a shot of this same CP unit just two days earlier in Colorado on the Provo-Denver. Looks like it go to Denver and was immediately added to this coal train.

The train loaded in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, and is now making its way west across the former-Rio Grande. It is ultimately headed for the Valmy Power Plant in Nevada. The two coal-fired generating units at the plant are scheduled to be decommissioned in 2025, so this coal train is likely near the end of its life.

There are, in fact, only three pairs of tunnels. The first one west of Helper are the Nolan Tunnels. The westbound Mountaineer is on Main 1, approaching the east entrance to the 403-foot Nolan Tunnel. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Here, a Utah Railway coal train (led by UP power) on main two is trying to pass a BNSF manifest on main one. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
