If coal trains do ever cease on the Moffat, I am going to miss the standard operation of three mid-train swing helpers found on each train. These units will be cut out of the train at the Pecos Crossover and go into North Yard for servicing. Typically, the units would have been sent west again for swing helper service. But with so few coal trains running right now, who knows if that'll actually be the case for these three units.
