With a rapidly setting sun to the west, a coal empty is pulling in to the siding at Roggen about 45 miles east of Denver. Along with several other trains on the line, the empty will wait here for the westbound Z-train.

Stopped on the siding at Roggen, this coal empty is still hanging out the west end of the siding. This is to avoid blocking the grade crossing at County Road 73 in town. Once the westbound the train is meeting (the Z-train from Chicago) is about 10 miles away, the dispatcher will instruct the train to pull in to the clear.

BNSF hasn't replaced many signals on the Brush Sub yet, so most of the signals still have the single target. Such is the case here at west Roggen where a coal empty is headed into the siding.

At the west switch of Tonville, this coal load is makes its way west in the rapidly fading sunlight. At Barr (the next siding to the west), the train will head in to the hole to wait for a Z-train to pass it and Amtrak to meet it. Busy night for the dispatcher on the Brush Sub.

It is 6:30pm and the sun is getting very close to the mountains as this westbound coal load continues on its journey just west of Tonville. It is really nice when the DPUs on the tail end of the train are facing the "right way".
