A coal empty with eight units (only three pulling) pulls through Barbara's Gulch about 14 miles west of North Yard. The train will set out five of the eight units at Glenwood Springs to be used as swing powers for eastbound coal loads coming out of Grand Junction. This particular coal empty, consisting of 103 empties, is heading for the mine at West Elk on the North Fork Branch.
