The cars belong to Patrick Henry Creative Promotions. While the company specializes in food and beverage marketing, they own these two cars (which are based out of Houston) and you can charter the cars from the company.

Photo ID: 105186 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, May 23, 2015 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed CP DS065 (East Tabernash) Tabernash, CO 1512 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak At the east switch of Tabernash, the westbound California Zephyr enters the siding. The Zephyr is meeting the eastbound MRONY, currently holding on the main track. There is a grade crossing on the siding at Tabernash (but there is not one on the main, and the main and siding are not parallel to each other). As a result, coal trains or manifests that have to hold at Tabernash will typically hold the main so the grade crossing on the siding is not blocked.

The sun is now well behind the mountains to the west as the train enters the siding at Tabernash. It's headlight is dimmed so as not to blind the crew on the eastbound sitting on the main. Winter is definitely on the horizon as you can see snow accumulating on the mountain peaks on the Continental Divide. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is waiting for a westbound empty that is still in the Moffat Tunnel. Eastbound loads hold on the main at Tabernash instead of the siding because there is a road crossing halfway through the siding.

The dispatcher has informed the train that they will be waiting for a little bit. The MNYRO has to set out a pair of cars on the house track at Fraser, and the crew will need to hold here in the meantime.

The second P42 on Amtrak was having a bad smoking day. In addition to smoke, a fair amount of snow is being kicked up too. The highway off to the left is US-40.

After wying at Tabernash, the Ski Train is on its way back toward Fraser. Looks like the Ski Train could stand a good power wash.

It is a very long, straight shot. In this picture, you can see the clear intermediate signal as well as the signal at the west end of Fraser. Fall colors are starting to make this area a very photogenic spot, not only for railfans but for everyone! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
