Summary[edit]

Description

This is the head end of a parked, east-bound, loaded coal train at Rozet, Wyoming on 20 June 2018. Loaded coal trains are common along this east-west line in northern Wyoming. The trains transport coal to various power plants, where the coal is burned to generate electricity. The coal is of sub-bituminous rank and comes from the Wyodak Coal, a 70 to 90 feet thick coal bed in the Fort Union Formation (Upper Paleocene). This is the thickest economic coal bed in America. It is extensively mined in the vicinity of the town of Gillette in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.

The train's lead unit is Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway # 5984, a General Electric ES44AC that was built in May 2006.
