In truth, this is actually only the power for the Winter Park Express, which is running around the train and will attach to the train further west in the siding. The old Fraser Mercantile Company still stands and operates here in Fraser. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Superliners have a basic battery backup, which can last 1-2 hours, although it cannot power everything on the car. Basic lighting is about all it provides. It is enough, as you can see, to power the red end markers on the coach that trailed for the trip west, but will be behind the power for the trip east.

More often than note, one or both P42DCs on the Winter Park Express will be changed out at least once or twice over the course of the ski season. This is usually due to required maintenance. Here, the pair bring the Winter Park Express along Kings Crossing Road on the west side of Winter Park. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

This is because the grade crossing is technically closed, as has been for about two years. A new underpass was built just west of the crossing, eliminating the need for the crossing. However, for some reason, the crossing itself not only still exists, but it is still power and responds when trains roll through. In this case, the westbound Winter Park Express, headed for Fraser.

The bridge was built around 2019 to bypass the grade crossing (which still exists) in the distance. Railroads have annual quotas for grade crossing removals. This is one that UP has been able to remove. Residents of Winter Park were happy as they did not have to wait for long oil (or occasional coal trains) slowly climbing the hill to the Moffat Tunnel.

Why former? There is a (relatively) new underpass that was constructed to bypass the grade crossing.
