You don't see this everyday! In fact, these days, it'll probably never happen again! Unpatched Espee GP60 #9794 leads two CSX ES44DCs on a unit pipe train at Cliff. I can't even remember the last time I saw a mainline train led by a four axle unit prior to this shot. The train was tied down on the siding due to maintenance ahead.

Two CSX "Dark Future" ES44DCs help to power a loaded unit pipe train west on the Moffat. These GEVOs are less than three months old and it was a rare treat to see them so far from their home. Unfortunately, I was stuck with some rather awful back-lighting...

This is about the best shot I could get on the "sunny" side of this unit pipe train. Unfortunately, the west end of Cliff is not the best place to get shots lighting-wise, and this unit pipe train led by Espee GP60 #9794 was tied down and not going anywhere for quite some time!

Two UP DPU's head east (away from the camera) on the end of a loaded coal train. The train stopped at the grade crossing at Cliff (at the east end) for a quick crew change. Meanwhile, Espee 9794 leads a unit pipe train tied down on the siding at Cliff.
