Yet, here it is, the sixth unit on an eastbound BNSF manifest. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

At its peak, Amtrak held 215 F40PHs on the roster. Many of these units were designated F40PHRs, the "R" indicated they had been built - to some extent - using parts from traded in SDP40's. Such was the case for all three of the Ski Train units (SKTX 242, SKTX 283 and SKTX 289). Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Six hours later, the train is sitting at Leyden (due to a pulled draw bar on the MNYGJ a few miles ahead). The crew ended up dying right here, rolling a total of about 9 miles over 12 hours!

Photo ID: 101621 Date Shot Photo By Tuesday, October 9, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Leyden (DS013) Arvada, CO 1765 (2 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Earlier in the day, this coal train was taken out of North Yard up to Leyden and tied down. Not too common to find a westbound tied down at Leyden, but track work up the hill prevented the train from going any further west. Now, right around sunset, a new crew has just been dropped off to take the train west. The train is the Colorado Springs Department of Utilities train, which used to have the cars lettered "CSDU".

However, the resulting "star" that the glare created seemed fitting considering the day, September 11. Six years after that horrible day, this westbound coal empty has clear signals at the west end of Leyden. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can barely see the train through the thick spring snow flakes falling at Leyden on this Thursday afternoon in March. March snow flakes in Colorado tend to be larger (and wetter) than in the winter. The Ski Train is getting close to completing its final Thursday Ski Train run of 2006-2007 season.

Regardless of the lighting, the Ski Train charges west out of Leyden with 13 miles of the 56 mile journey to Winter Park taken care of.

The Ski Train is not wasting any time moving west at the west end of Leyden. The train is easily making track speed (about 50 MPH) as it crosses over the west switch.
