The first half of this windmill train includes the tops of the windmills...the part that the blades of the windmill will attach to. The second half of the train contains the component that connects the top of the windmill to the base. Both halves can be seen here with the Rockies (including Longs Peak) in the distance.

The new Central Park Blvd overpass really offers a great view of the Limon Sub to the west. This windmill train is approaching the Ulster Street grade crossing. The rails laying along the track will be used for in the upcoming (re)construction of the Limon Sub and RTD's commuter line to Denver International Airport.

This "rocket train" is headed west to Utah in order to get a new solid rocket booster for NASA. These ten cars are sufficient for transporting two boosters.

Need a boost? This is a specially designed car used to transport the solid rocket boosters used by NASA on the space shuttle! The cars on this train are not loaded with boosters; they are returning to Utah to pick up a new load.

How's this for an interesting looking car? The roll bars that have been welded to the car are used to determine clearance. This is part of the "rocket train", which is used to transports the solid rocket boosters used by NASA. This car ensures the train has the proper clearance.

What kind of train is this you ask? It is a special train designed to carry the solid rocket boosters used by NASA on the space shuttle! The train came from Florida and is on its way to Clearfield, UT.
