It is a beautiful afternoon in the Colorado high country as an Energy-bound coal empty blasts by on the main track at Granby. Right here, we are about 8,000 feet above sea level. Track speed is increasing toward 60 MPH for the trip west toward Hot Sulpher Springs.

A roster shot of FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) track geometry car (DOTX 220). This car is used to check for defects in the rail that may lead to derailments. And it works well! Between Tabernash and Granby, the train found four significant defects, each requiring a slow order between 10 MPH and 25 MPH.

A bit of a surprise on this particular day, as the Federal Railroad Administrations track geometry car, led by a year-old ES44AC, heads west. The car is being used to check for defects in the track to help prevent derailments.
