Two DPUs bring up the tail end of this westbound oil train in Barbara's Gulch. Oil trains have become the new coal trains on the Moffat. While the oil trains are still not nearly as plentiful as coal trains once were, you can pretty well count on seeing a couple of them in any 24 hour period. This one is going to take the siding at Plain and wait for about 90 minutes for the eastbound Zephyr. DS-378 does not want to risk trying to make it to Cliff ahead of the Zephyr.
