As is has been the case for years (even decades at this point), traffic on the Moffat can be feast or famine. It was closer to the famine side of the spectrum on this day, with this BNSF oil train being the only freight train I saw in 10 hours. The oil train is in the siding, meeting the westbound Zephyr, zipping by on the main.
