West of Reno Junction, a UP coal empty is on Main 2 and headed for the Belle Ayr mine at MP 16.4. It is one of the mines further north on the Orin Sub. It is worth mentioning that while BNSF can access the Orin Sub from the North and South end of the 127-mile sub, UP only accesses from the south end. So all westbound (geographic north) UP coal trains are empty, and all eastbound (geographic south) UP coal trains are loaded.
