I've always liked this perspective looking east along the straight stretch of track through Arvada. I like the lines added by the leafless trees to the left. Oberon Road is just barely visible to the right; the intersection in the distance is Oberon and Carr Street.

An eastbound coal load heads down a long straight section of track between Carr Street and Pierce Street (roughly) in mid-Arvada. UP 7281 was the last [DPU] unit on the train and caught the light nicely on the way toward town.

Relatively nonthreatening clouds hang out over the eastern plains of Colorado as the Ski Train slowly passes east through Arvada on a yellow signal. Up ahead, the train will stop for a few minutes at CP 7.5 as a coal load (ahead of the Ski Train) slowly makes its way into Bypass Track Two at C&S Junction.

The Ski Train heads back toward Denver on its first run in Spring in 2007. Some of the grass in the Denver area is starting to show some signs a green, thanks to the very wet winter that we had earlier in the season. The Ski Train is crossing Carr Street, moving slowly on an Approach (yellow) signal.

It should be a great day for skiing up at Winter Park! Looks like the white stuff is falling over the mountains as the Ski Train hustles to get its passengers up to the slopes. The train is in between Carr Street and West 68th Avenue.

After two weeks with SKTX 289 in the shops and UP 1989 leading the Ski Train, all was back to normal on this Friday morning. SKTX 242 was once again in charge of the 17 car train as it heads west through Arvada on the approach to Carr Street.

UP 1989 hustles west on the point of the MNYPV-08. The door on the long hood is open because the crew was checking for an extra jumper cable at the request of DS-86.

The MNYPV-08 heads west through Arvada with the Rio Grande Heritage Unit, UP 1989, on the point. The train is making track speed on the approach to Carr Street, just west of Old Wadsworth Blvd.
