Bundles of hay lay waiting to be picked up in a field as a unit oil train rolls east near Agate Creek, just west of the small plains town of Agate. The few oil trains that UP runs on the Moffat these days frequently run north up the Greeley to the Overland after arriving in Denver. Was a pleasant surprise to find this one headed east on the KP.
