Every BNSF oil train that I can recall seeing on the Moffat runs with six units. Typically, six on the point for the westbound empty, and 3x3 (three on the point, three DPUs on the end). Today is no exception, with six units leading this westbound empty at East Portal, running along South Boulder Creek.
