Not too often you can find not just one, but two Canadian National units in Colorado with Longs Peak as the backdrop! It is very interesting that a pair of DC-powered units (DC traction motors) are on a coal empty. These days, it is very rare to find anything other than AC units on coal trains, empty or loaded.
