Five units, a quartet of GEs and a single EMD SD70ACe, lead a westbound coal empty out of Tunnel 1. The train is headed for the West Elk Mine on the North Fork Branch where it will load. Most likely, the train will have a sixth unit added in Grand Junction for the return trip over the Moffat. Coal loads are typically set up in a 2x3x1 configuration.
