The Moffat has not received too much "major" maintenance since the SP/UP merger…until now. A ballast train working in the Moffat Tunnel heading east is tied down on the siding at Tolland. Three SD60M's provide the power for the ballast train. The Aspens are starting to change up at altitude. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
