Most eastbound coal trains include three mid-train swing helpers. It was rather interesting that this particular train only had a pair of mid-train swing helpers. The train did appear to be a bit shorter than the average coal load, so perhaps the extra horsepower just wasn't needed. The train is crossing the road at the Blue Mountain road crossing.
