If you follow the website, then you likely now that MRL SD70ACe have become a fairly common sight on the Moffat in the aftermath of BNSF's acquisition of MRL at the start of 2025. This morning, it is MRL 4303, third out from the head end. Unfortunately, MRL did not have PTC, meaning their SD70ACes are not PTC equipped. As a result, it is unlikely that an MRL unit will ever lead on the Moffat.
