Three units lead a westbound UP coal empty out of Leyden. The train is following a few blocks behind a BNSF Denver-Provo. The coal empty is headed for the only-remaining mine on the North Fork, West Elk. Rumor has it that the mine has picked up a new contract that might produce 20 or so trains in the next few weeks or months. While not a ton, it is better than nothing.
