For the second time in nine days, BNSF ran a loaded oil train over the Moffat. The power for this train was the same as the power on a loaded sand train that ran west four three days earlier. Efficient use of power! The fact that BNSF ran a sand train west suggests that another oil train (or several more oil trains) will be coming.

As time marches onward, I like to get shots of defunct paint schemes when I can as they aren't going to last forever! And, as such, here is a shot of a "green and cream" SD70MAC.

A pair of ES44ACs bring up the tail end of this eastbound oil train at Leyden. The temperature outside is about 28°F and quite a bit of snow is still on the ground from the weekend snow storm.

The westbound Zephyr is on the move in Barbara's Gulch, running right on time. The Veterans unit, AMTK 42, is on the point today.

With the remaining snow on the ground and silver streak of Amtrak's Superliners, spotting Amtrak is this shot is a little bit like Where's Waldo! Once you spot it, you will not that the "Honor Our Veterans" unit (AMTK 42) is on the point on this morning.

Things have slowed on the Moffat a bit lately. The westbound Zephyr, heading west through Barbara's Gulch, is the first westbound in 15 hours! After a nice burst in coal traffic, there are no coal empties on the lineup, so trains are a bit light at the moment.
