It is a beautiful late September afternoon as six BNSF units lead a westbound coal empty on the Moffat. The train is moving at track speed as it leaves west out of Rocky and makes the climb up Big Ten Loop. This particular coal empty actually originated in Mexico.

If you are a follower of the site, then you likely know that coal trains - once the most common type of train on the Moffat - have become rather scarce. So it was extra special when BNSF ran a coal empty west up and around Big Ten on this September afternoon. All six units are on the head end for the trip west.

Six BNSF units, including a single "green and cream" SD70MAC, lead a coal empty west on the main at Eisele (Clay). The train originated in Mexico and BNSF is in charge of running the train west over the Moffat.
