UP 5750, 5774 and 5940 heading a loaded coal train southbound at 8:00 a.m. This must have been an unusually long coal train since it had two DPU's on the rear. CWTWB9-11 (Coal-West Thunder Mine, WY-White Bluff, AR) Had 135 loads-19,305 tons-7512'. The reason for the extra engines is because it showed both the UP 5774 and 5611 in "Dead, Bad-Ordered" status.
