Here at Troublesome, this eastbound unit oil train is actually able to reach speeds of 45-50 MPH. Not bad for the middle of the Rocky Mountains.

Photo ID: 109943 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, December 20, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Troublesome (5,570 ft) Grand County, CO 108 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific 2 1/2 hours after pulling out of Bond, this eastbound oil train is on the main track at Troublesome. Ironically, it was here at Troublesome where a significant derailment occurred in the late 1950s. That derailment involved the crew of an eastbound missing an approach (yellow) signal at West Troublesome and hitting a westbound that was entering the siding at East Troublesome. It led to Rio Grande creating a safety/training video called "The Trouble at Troublesome". Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
