on June 26 I was up on Soldier Summit near Colton Junction heading home from Arizona when I saw this train on the north track. BNSF has 3 ES44s on point including a NS Dash9 being taken home as pool power. The train is short because UP is working on the track between Colton Junction and Helper Junction and Yard to replace 4,000 ties that got rotten. because of this BNSF left half the train at Roper Yard and will pick it up in Denver. south of this location is Norlan Tunnels 1 and 2 UP has its gang parked here for the night.

@pwalpar Thank you earlier I saw UP with their gang parked near the entrance to Norlan Tunnel 2 BNSF had to leave the cars because of clearance on the north track.
