Note that practically every pine tree in the shot is purple! All those trees have died as a result of the "Beetle Bark" epidemic in Colorado.

As the MNYRO pulls into the siding, a very old Pontiac (feel free to comment on the year as I have no clue) sits on its bare axles in the dandelions.

Here, the crew will make a cut and tie down the back portion of the train. Then, two gondolas will be set out on the house track. The hill on the right side of the shot is used for intertubing in the winter. You can also see the ski run at Winter Park in the distance, and even a ski lift atop the mountain in the upper right hand corner.

On this fabulous June day, UP's MNYRO pops out of the trees and into the clearing in Fraser Valley. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

I sincerely hope that the train will run for another 69 seasons! The train holds on the siding at Fraser for four to five hours during the day while waiting to pick up skiers back at Winter Park between 3:30pm and 4:00pm.

GE and EMD competed for the business and GE ultimately won with the P42DC. However, Amtrak did take a handful of F59PH's (EMDs answer to the F40PH). Since they all run in California, they are hard to find elsewhere. I was happy to capture it on this day! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

There, the train waits until it is time to return to Winter Park to pick up its passengers for the trip home. Fortunately, Fraser is less than 5,000 feet in length, making it a seldom-used siding by UP dispatchers (as most trains exceed then length of the siding).

It is amazing to think that four months ago, the ground was completely covered by snow right here!
