A coal empty heading for the Castle Valley Spur to load at the Savage mine. Sunlight was a rare thing on this day, and it came out at just the right time. The Price River is particularly muddy right now!

A westbound until coil train is traversing Soldier Summit. The train has four C44-9CW's (all four in Heritage-II paint), and all four in "elephant style", even though the train was separating the first two from the last two.

Snow highlights the mountains in the background as the eastbound Stockton to Denver winds through the loops on Gilluly on main two. The two units seen here are actually two unmanned helpers at the end of the train.
