A pair of BNSF ES44ACs bring up the tail end of a westbound loaded sand train. UP ran this sand train in two sections so as to avoid any stalls on the Moffat. Probably a wise decision, but not the preferred decision amongst railfans...the original plan called for a power configuration of 3x4x2, had the entire train run west!
