But today, a westbound BNSF manifest meets with an eastbound UP coal load at Cliff. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Such was the case on this Sunday morning when a UP SD70M was adding 4,000 horses to BNSF's Denver-Provo trackage rights train.

It is meeting an eastbound coal load (which is already waiting for it west of the grade crossing). Unfortunately, it isn't going anywhere for awhile once it gets to the west switch at Cliff due to additional eastbound traffic.

UP's MNYRO is stopped on the main at Plain because they are having issues getting anywhere close to track speed. DS-82 aligned BNSF's QDVPVJ into the siding alongside the MNYRO. The train stopped and the engineer hopped in to the end DPU to ensure that it was configured and working properly. Turns out it was and the train, with only three units, was likely under-powered.

The Flat Iron Crossing mall is behind the train to the left and a relatively new condo complex is to the right. However, the Rockies look fantastic on a sunny February morning. Interestingly, you can actually see UP's Moffat Tunnel Sub on the mountains in the distance! Plainview is roughly above the double stacks (with Rainbow Cut above the first car) and tunnels 3 and 4 are above the lead unit.
