Moffat Tunnel (UP) Winter Park Express
There is plenty of snow to be had on the ground (and hanging in the trees) in the Tunnel District as the westbound Winter Park Express heads toward the east portal of Tunnel 8. Not far behind the train, you can clearly see the west portal of Tunnel 7.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Amtrak
The westbound California Zephyr passes through a true winter scene, with evergreens white instead of green, in between Tunnels 7 and 8 in the Tunnel District of the Moffat Tunnel Sub. Since Tunnel 1, the train has been running (roughly) geographically north, but after emerging from Tunnel 8, the train will be headed geographically west, following along South Boulder Canyon near Elderado Springs.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Rocky Mountaineer
The westbound Rocky Mountaineer approaches the east portal of Tunnel 8. Tunnel 8 is one of the longer tunnels in the Tunnel District, and would be a scary one to walk through as the entire tunnel is curved.

Note: DO NOT WALK through train tunnels! The above statement is a theoretical one only.
