The previous day, the yard at Phippsburg was empty. Overnight, however, a westbound coal empty arrived in the yard! It is stopped on Track 3 and is waiting for a crew to take the train to Energy. Upon loading at Energy, the train will return to Denver and ultimately deliver the coal to the Valmont power plant in Boulder.

A westbound coal empty rests on Track 3 in the yard at Phippsburg. The SD70ACe see here is bringing up the tail end of the train. The mine at Energy (where the train will load) has a balloon track, effectively turning the train around as it loads.
