Railroad photograph

The two largest railroads both in the western United States and the United States as a whole. BNSF exercises their trackage rights on the Moffat with a BNSF Denver-Provo manifest which is passing by a loaded UP rail train that is holding on the main. The Denver-Provo is a "key train" today, meaning it is restricted to a maximum speed on the main and restricted to 10 MPH when in the siding and meeting or passing trains. So it is creeping along west here amid an afternoon July storm out on the plains.
