The typical view for an eastbound coal train on the Moffat! A trio of mid-train swing helpers. UP has pretty well standardized the practice of running coal...two engines on the point, three in the middle, and one on the end from the mines to Denver. Then, cut out the three in the middle and run east with two on the point and one on the rear.
