15 years ago, coal trains on the Moffat were ubiquitous and as common as leaves on a tree. However, today, they have become intermittent at best. Even more unusual is an empty westbound BNSF coal train. However, here one sits in the siding in the late morning on a somewhat windy Thursday. The train will be sitting for a few hours to wait for a maintenance window to close ahead in the Tunnel District.
