Case-in-point is this southbound coal load just getting ready to leave the yard in Denver and head for the Joint Line. They only have 111 such units on the roster, but they have spending a lot of time on PRB coal trains! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The last four units here are idling, apparently in a power move. UP does this quite often, particularly on the Moffat, but I haven't seen it on BNSF very often.
