At the time of this photo, there were (on average) two oil trains traversing the Moffat each week. One empty, and one loaded. This empty will load upon arrival at Wash, UT (which is just east of Price, UT and Wellington, UT). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Crystal clear skies in the snow covered valley at Tolland. Other than being a bit dirty, the power on the MNYRO looks pretty good against a snow-capped Continental Divide backdrop.

When entering the siding, the train went in to emergency. It looked like the Ski Train may get held up for a bit. However, the air started coming back on the MNYRO right away and the train was able to pull in to the clear. However, once the Ski Train passed, the conductor had the walk the train to ensure everything was okay. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

However, the amazing Amtrak folks in Denver spent half a day giving the unit a very good washing. Their pride in their company, the special Ski Train, and this great unit is reflected in this shot of the train overtaking the MNYRO at Tolland.

In a very classy move, Amtrak sent AMTK 42 to run as the power on the train. This unit salutes veterans of the United States military. It was a beautiful morning for a special running of the Ski Train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train consisted of seven coaches (alternating between standard Coach cars and Coach Baggage cars), enough space for about 400 passengers and lots of skis! Here, the train passes the MNYRO, holding in the siding at Tolland. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It isn't too often than Canadian Pacific units find their way to Colorado. Looking dirty, beat up, old and worn down, it was still nice to see on this BNSF manifest at Tolland.

The Moffat Tunnel is currently venting (after a westbound coal empty went through). And, after venting, an eastbound will get a turn at the tunnel.

A westbound coal empty approaches the grade crossing at Tolland. In the distance, the driver of the pickup apparently thought he could go in deeper snow that he actually could. A few friends work to help pull him out of the drift. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The empty had been waiting on the main here for awhile to allow the Zephyr to run around it on the siding. With the Moffat Tunnel nearly done venting, the train will be pulling west shortly.

Perhaps this picture will help to cool you off some! Between the snow and the winds, it felt like it was barely 0°F outside.

It met an eastbound BNSF manifest which received a relief crew four hours earlier. Unfortunately, a parade of westbounds has kept the crew waiting patiently for their turn to head east.
