On the close track, Main 1, an eastbound UP coal train starts the main climb up Logan Hill. Over on Main 3, a westbound BNSF empty is zipping by at close to track speed (50 MPH). Finally, a loaded BNSF coal train is waiting to depart over Logan Hill. It currently does not have a crew on board, and it is sitting on the Antelope lead. Seeing meets like this are what makes the Powder River Basin quite exciting.
