You can see numerous skiers still hitting the slopes of Winter Park in the background as the tail end DPU on this MNYRO emerges from the Moffat Tunnel and passes the repeater signal at MP 56.5. This signal displays the same aspect as the east switch of Winter Park, which can be see in the distance toward the right side of the photo. The signal allows westbound trains to know what to expect at the east switch of Winter Park. If this repeater is red, trains may pass the signal, prepared to stop at east Winter Park.

Not too hard to determine where this was taken! The winter ski season is getting close to an end as this westbound MNYRO pops out of the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel and passes by a still-busy Winter Park ski resort. This former Espee AC4400CW is one of a handful that got double UP shields on the nose when it was patched.

Just a day before this picture was taken, I got some shots of these two units headed west as light power to pick up a work train at Rollins. Well, here is that work train now as it departs Winter Park to tie up at East Portal!

Since I got a shot of the Zephyr plunging into the Moffat Tunnel on the trip west, I was happy that I had the chance to also grab a shot as we were about to enter the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel on the journey back home.
