Roughly once per month, BNSF takes advantage of their trackage rights on the Moffat and runs a coal train west toward Utah. The train is actually jointly operated, being run by BNSF up the Joint Line and west on the Moffat to Grand Junction where it is turned over to Utah Railway. A Utah Railway crew takes the train to Utah Railway Junction (near Helper) where the train is then taken on Utah Railway tracks past Martin up to the Wildcat mine. After loading, the train returns east.

A quintet of SD70's (an SD70ACe and four SD70MACs) lead up this BNSF coal empty which is headed west on the Moffat. Roughly once each month, BNSF runs this 75-car coal train west to load on the Utah Railway at the Wildcat Mine near Helper, UT. The train typically makes an early, pre-dawn departure from Denver. On this day, however, it was an mid-morning departure, allowing for some pictures.
