Case-in-point was this particular morning. Just west of Rollins, along East Portal Road, I had a descent lead on the Ski Train. Then, I come around a corner and see two cars both going 15 MPH (half the speed limit). With two cars on a dirt road like this, it isn't safe to pass...and they show no signs of pulling over. The Ski Train comes and blows past us! When I finally got around, I had no chance to catch back up. This was the only view of the Ski Train I got on this morning.

However, even without the light, this ES44AC looks pretty good on the point of the MNYPV. Following the new GEVO is an SD70ACe and an AC6000CW...an impressive power lineup.

The power here is the end DPU power on a westbound coal empty plunging into the Moffat Tunnel. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Another week to 10 days for some of them, while others are right at their peak. The train is a few hundred feet away from the east portal of the Moffat Tunnel.

The sun was far enough around the mountain to the south to illuminate the hill in the distance, but not quite far enough to the west yet to actually light the tracks. In any case, Amtrak 5 disappears into the 6.2-mile-long Moffat Tunnel. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Back in 1997, Santa Fe's Warbonnets were still in close-to-pristine condition and you can tell even in this black and white photo!
