Two SD70ACes with an ES44AC spliced in between climb up and around Big Ten Curve with a very heavy coal load in tow. The crew just informed DS-380 that they'll be making a max of about 13 MPH on the climb up to the Moffat Tunnel. The dispatcher is working to figure out where the coal load will meet the eastbound Rocky Mountaineer.
