These are helpers coming out of the west portal of Moffat Tunnel. They would push trains up the west side of the mountains and through the tunnel before uncoupleing & coming back through heading to Tabernash. They would then wait to couple onto another tran for the big push back up the hill.
Enjoy!
I remember when they would stage in tabernash colorado for the coal trains as they met and connected to climb the rockies
