Most eastbound coal trains on the Moffat have three mid-train swing helpers. I have seen a few instances of four mid-train swings...but I think this may be the first time I've caught five mid-train swing helpers! The quintet will be set out in Denver, and the train will head for the plains with a standard 2x(0)x1 consist.
