A very rare site on the Moffat! An empty "blade train" heads west at the grade crossing at Blue Mountain. These flat cars are specifically used for hauling the blades used on electricity-generating windmills. As it turns out, these particular cars are headed for the siding of Dotsero to be stored. As traffic levels on the Moffat have decreased, more sidings are being used for the storage of cars.
