It's no secret that the bottom has dropped out of coal and car loadings on all railroads has dropped precipitously. In Colorado, coal loadings are down nearly 85% compared to where they were ten years ago! For quite some time now, Energy Mine has only been loading trains for customers within Colorado. Looks like there may be a new customer though with this train. The train originated from Curtis Bay, MD! Not sure if it is a one time thing, or if Energy has found a tiny bit of new life. Guess time will tell.

How about a different perspective for Byers Canyon? While most shots come from the south side of the rails, we are looking down on this eastbound from the north side of the rails just at the mouth of the east end of the canyon. You can see US-40 on the opposite side of the Colorado River. A few hundred feet more and the train will knock down the clear signal at the west switch of Sulphur.

At Sulphur, we overtook a westbound coal empty. The empty took the siding a few minutes ahead of us. As seen here, we shot past lead unit just before entering Byers Canyon.
