What type of train is this ?

While tracing locomotives on the UPRR Trace I noticed 3 AC4400's with a Destionation of Castle
Oregon and a Origination of Coop,UT , Can this be
a Coal train? , Does Castle,Or have a power plant?
Any help would be great, Thanks.

COOP is the loadout at Wellington. Rail east, road south of Helper. It is a coal train.

 

Jim,

Thanks alot! , It helps a confused head.. Would
this train go by your Location?

 

I have never heard of Castle, Oregon. It could be the name of the location of the coal-fired generating plant located near Boardman (west of Hermiston). It is my understanding that a new spur has been built to service that plant. That is my best guess.

 

Castle is at the Boardman Airport.
