Under partly cloudy skies, this BNSF manifest (using its trackage rights on the Moffat) is slowing down on the siding, where it will wait for an eastbound coal load.

This eastbound coal load is about to cross over the South Beaver Creek Road grade crossing, just west of the siding of Cliff. The train is creeping along at 18 MPH, and several cars are showing the slowing effort as smoke comes off the super-hot brake shoes.
