The MRONY is about to duck into the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel at the base of Winter Park. This is almost the exact spot the Ski Train used to stop to pick up passengers....

However, this is merely the Roper to North Yard manifest (MRONY-15) which runs daily. The hoppers were picked up in Grand Junction from the Terror Creek Turn the day before.

This westbound manifest (the MDENPVO-01) is smoking a bit as it departs westbound. The train consists largely of tank cars coming from the Suncor Refinery in Commerce City. Not the train passing through the High-Wide detector right at the front of the final string of tank cars. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
