Sitting on the siding at Hazeltine, here is a good look at Car #9, the "Winter Park". This car was the base of operations for the Ski Train personnel and volunteers for each trip.

Near the north end of Hazeltine, the Ski Train slows to a stop on the siding to meet the MNPNY which was a few miles to the north. The sun was generous and punched through the clouds a bit for this shot.

At the south switch of Irondale, this westbound manifest just got a clear signal and, in true General Electric fashion, the trio of C44-9Ws is putting on a show! Note the nine flat cars carrying tanks. I was guessing they might be headed for Fort Carson, but I'm not sure.

The twice-weekly (give-or-take) QCHIDEN is in the process of setting out a string of about 20 loaded auto racks at Irondale. An SD75I - with a very nice Warbonnet scheme - leads up the train. The conductor on the ground is preparing to cut the units away from the auto racks.
