If you look closely at the last two Superliner, you'll see the train has just crossed over from Main 3 to Main 2 at the Pecos Street crossover. When coal trains were "a dime a dozen" on the Moffat, you could almost always count on finding at least one, if not two, coal trains here on Main 1 and Main 2. The Pecos Street crossover was built to allow the mid-train helpers to be easily cut out of the coal loads. With coal having all but vanished from the Moffat, these tracks spend most days empty and silent.
