This was a nice surprise for a Saturday afternoon! Not only did a westbound (empty) oil train run on the Moffat, but it was led by a pair of Kansas City Southern "Retro Belles"! Both SD70ACes to boot. Haven't seen an oil train in weeks (if not months). With oil prices so low right now, the demand for oil from fracking just hasn't been that high.
