The head end of this westbound train is now facing (compass) east...just part of the trip up the Front Range! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The building in the foreground is a Colorado Department of Transportation facility where they store salt/sand for the highway in the winter.

The Summer Ski Train makes a 180 degree turn at the base of the canyon and is now heading east (geographically) as it climbs toward Tunnel 1. The Utah and Kansas cross over Highway 72 at the end of the train. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture. Photo ID: 101414 Date Shot Photo By Wednesday, June 27, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Coal Creek Canyon Arvada, CO 2291 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific A similar scene was repeated for many, many years on the Rio Grande. UP E-Units crossing over Highway 72 at the base of Coal Creek Canyon bring back memories of Rio Grande F-Units leading freight (in the 50's and 60's) and then passenger trains (until 1983) over this same track. Here, an OLS Special is climbing toward Tunnel One. This is only the second time UP's E-Units have visited the former Rio Grande through the Rockies (not around them).

The eastbound California Zephyr was just such an example on this particular day. Amtrak 6 wraps through the curve at the base of Coal Creek Canyon about twelve hours late! It's not too often you can get Amtrak 6 coming down the Front Range in morning light! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Snow is coming down at a pretty good pace at the base of Coal Creek Canyon as the Ski Train crosses over Highway 72. The private cars on the end (California, Utah and Kansas) are empty today, but wouldn't you just love to be in the dome of the California for this trip!
