Railroad photograph

There are days...or perhaps certain times on any given day...in which you might think the Moffat is actually owned by BNSF rather than Union Pacific. An empty oil train heads west on the main track at Eisele (Clay) in the background, while an eastbound coal empty sits in the siding at Rocky. The eastbound is waiting on the Zephyr and the Rocky Mountaineer before it will be its turn to continue east. The crew only has until 11:15am to work before their hours are up.
