Rumor has it that one of UP's Board Members was a fan (or perhaps even worked for) the CNW, which is likely why this is the second heritage unit chosen for the trip.

There is an eastbound coal load currently on the main waiting for a couple trains. The eastbound is holding the main because there is a grade crossing on the siding that would be blocked if the train held the siding.

The lead unit of the Ski Train, Amtrak 242, couples onto the front of a work train at Tabernash and is pushing it back out of the way of the wye so the Ski Train can complete its turn-around.

The power on the work train was shut off, however, so the lead unit from the Ski Train was cut off to move the work train.

Photo ID: 1080 Date Shot Photo By January 1999 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Tabernash Tabernash, CO 2651 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train In the 1998-1999 season, the Ski Train stopped using leased power from Union Pacific (and the power car), and started using leased F40PH's from Amtrak. Two F40's were used during this first season, which turned out to be a disaster when one of the units went down. On one trip, the train couldn't make it up the hill! Here, the two leased F40's can be seen on the point of the train as the train backs into the wye at Tabernash. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Today, the side of every car simply says "The Ski Train". Unfortunately, a grinder was used to remove the names before "The Ski Train" was applied, so the old name plaques are lost forever. However, here is the North Park (Car 5) sitting on the wye at Tabernash in January 1999. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
