One of the shortest BNSF Provo-Denver manifests I've seen, comprised entirely of tank cars, is in the process of tying down in the siding at Rocky. The conductor has just set the derail and is walking back to the lead unit. If you are wondering how you can tell this is not an oil train, the lack of a buffer car (typically a covered hopper) right after the lead power is a dead tell.
