Prior to this shot of a UP coal empty (in the siding, to the left) and the MGJNY (on the main), I do not specifically recall the last time I saw a meet between two UP trains on the Moffat. Several days of the week find only a single UP train running (MNYGJ/MGJNY). Sundays have no regularly scheduled UP trains at all. The MGJNY is just coming out of Tunnel 2 toward a clear signal at the west switch of Plain.

Note the SD40-2 that is last in the consist. This unit is most likely due for a 92-day inspection. That means it still has a long way to go as it'll likely have to go to North Platte, NE to receive said inspection, thanks to the closing of Burnham in Denver.
