BNSF oil trains are not exactly strangers to the Moffat, but this one is particularly odd. Most oil trains head west to load in Utah, and then return loaded. This one, however, is coming east empty. The train originated in Salt Lake City. Here, a semi and a car on CO-72 overtake the train, which is slowing for a red signal at West Leyden.
