An EMD-led empty ballast train heads east out of Barbara's Gulch on clear signals. It is unusual to find an SD9043MAC on the Moffat these days and even more unusual to find one on the point of a train! In the distance, the MNYGJ pulls west through Clay.

After meeting each other at Rocky, the MNYGJ continues west on the main at Clay while an empty ballast train passes by the intermediate signal at MP 16.1. The distance between the trains has expanded to about five (rail) miles.

Silver aluminum cars do a nice job reflecting the rapidly setting sun as this eastbound coal load makes its way out of Barbara's Gulch. In the distance, you can see the tracks running along the base of the mountains at Clay.

How many trains do you see in this picture? If your first reaction is "only one", look again! As a coal empty approaches the intermediate signal below Rocky, the MNYGJ proceeds west (geographically north) on the mainline at Clay way off in the distance.
