A few miles north of Palmer Lake, the Santa Fe mainline once crossed over the Rio Grande mainline prior to the existance of the Joint Line. Here, this southbound coal load is descending from the level of the old Santa Fe main to the level of the old Rio Grande main.

This BNSF southbound coal load is wrapping around the south side of Palmer Lake. Prior to the advent of DPU, the train would soon be stopping to cutoff its manned helper from the end of the train.

Although this train could easily be mistaken for a southbound heading toward the camera, these "pumkins" are actually the helpers on the end of a northbound coal empty approaching Greenland.
