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!
