It was a coal train with five or six articulated cars. Each car was the length of 20 or so 50-foot hoppers. Each "trough" could be filled continuously with coal, making for easier loading. This ballast train applies the same concept. Each "car" is about 600 feet long, filled with ballast. This train is headed for Bond for summer maintenance duty.

The first eastbound was in between Granby and Tabernash as the train made its way up the hill. At the base of Coal Creek Canyon, the train is running on clear signals on a beautiful Colorado morning.

Much of the three feet of snow that fell in a blizzard one week ago remains on the ground. The head end of the train has just crossed over CO-72 at the base of Coal Creek Canyon.
