BNSF 8496 and BNSF 9052, both SD70ACes, lead a westbound oil train near Welton Reservoir in Arvada. The train has a buffer car at the front and at the end. Buffer cars, frequently hoppers, are appropriately named they are used to provide a buffer between the power (and the crew) and the typically hazardous cargo.
