Coal trains, once king of the Moffat, have certainly become rare. Perhaps even a novelty. I was fortunate enough to catch this westbound empty as it entered into the east end of Byers Canyon. It has six units on the head end, which will likely be set up in a 2x3x1 configuration for the journey east.
