An empty BNSF coal train comes around Big Ten Curve. BNSF has a contract with the Valmy power plant in Nevada. The train loads in the Powder River Basin and then head west on the Moffat (loaded). After unloading, it returns east (empty). I would typically use the drone for a shot around Big Ten, but some stronger winds made me decide to just get the shot from the ground, the old fashioned way.
