After spotting the front half of the train at the power plant, the back half of the Valmont coal train will be placed on the Stazio Siding west of the plant. A plant switcher will pick up these loads and replace them with empties.

After dropping off the loaded coal hoppers on the track to the right, the power for the Valmont coal train runs light back toward the mainline. The power will not actually enter the mainline, but will instead tie down on a stub track and the crew will return to Denver.

Empty hopper cars for the Valmont power plant are spotted on a storage track along the Stazio Fields in Boulder. Here, north of the fields, power for the Valmont train is about to back up and attach to the empty hoppers. Just ahead of the lead unit (in the distance) is the end of the line! Once upon a time, the track continue to UP's Dent Branch, but long gone are those days...
