Sharon Springs, KS is the away terminal for UP crews coming west from Denver as well as east from Salina. The town of 751 people is also the home of the Wildcats (the local high school). This morning, just after sunrise, an eastbound coal load is pulling in to town. The 105-car train loaded at the West Elk Mine in Western Colorado.
