It is not particularly often than you see a loaded coal train on the Moffat with six units on the head end in 2025. Traditionally, UP's "preferred" setup for coal loads has been 2x3x1. In this case, this shorter-than-normal coal train was configured as 4x2. However, after breaking a drawbar overnight, two units came out of Denver and were added to the head end, making the train the 6x2 that it now is.
