Double stack operations on BNSF/UP's Joint Line

Hello!
I have one quick question. I was wondering, on Colorado's Joint Line, does the railroad run double stack cars over the line?
Thanks!!

I live in Colorado Springs near the joint line, and I see very little intermodal traffic. It is coal more than anything (loaded south, empties north), occasional unit grain, and some mixed freight. This is just from casual observation, so I may be inaccurate. The Ringling Bros Barnum and Bailey Circus train is in town right now. It is nice to see something a little different around here!!
