A single UP SD70ACe sits on Main 1 just west of the signals at the C&S Junction. Before unit trains (mostly oil trains these days, coal trains in the past) head west on the Moffat, UP frequently will do a little power shuffling. Often times adding a unit to a train that came off the relatively flat plains before it heads into the Rockies. Such is the case here as this SD70ACe is waiting for authority from DS-378 to back east onto the point of a westbound oil train, just barely visible way off in the distance. This shot also demonstrates how long the OS at C&S Junction is. It must be one of the longest anywhere, as it is roughly 1/2 a mile between switches!
