A Canadian Pacific ES44AC is the final DPU on a westbound loaded coal train, the front half of which has passed through Nolan Tunnel on Main 1. 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.

BNSF's loaded coal train, headed for the Valmy Power Plant in Nevada, is approaching the Nolan Tunnels on Soldier Summit. Upon reaching Provo, the BNSF crew will get off the train and a UP crew will take over for the trip to Nevada.

A westbound BNSF coal load is taking on the 2% grade of Soldier Summit on Main 1. 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.

Unlike the Moffat in Colorado, Soldier Summit has very few tunnels. 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.

RMRX 8020 has turned the corner and is approaching the east portal of the Nolan Tunnels, around 10 miles west of Helper.
