More SD70s have appeared on the Moffat lately. Some speculation as to the reason has to due with the upcoming closing of Burnham. Burnham has primarily serviced GEs for the past 15 years. With it closing, UP not be as picky as to what power makes it into Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is hard to believe that as of this picture, it has been nearly six years since that final run of the original Ski Train. Here, Amtrak's special run of the Ski Train (which included seven Superliners) emerges from the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel.

After the train clears the west switch, the fans in the tunnel will turn on to vent the exhaust from the tunnel. Once that process is complete, the (special) Ski Train will be able to load its passengers at Winter Park, just over six miles to the west.
