On the main at Cliff, the tracks cross over South Boulder Creek. UP 7830 and CP 8941 are on the main, leading an eastbound oil train across said bridge. The train is a unit oil train, although you cannot see any tank cars in this shot. The only car visible is a covered hopper, which serves as a buffer car, to protect the power from the oil they are carrying.
