It can be a fun challenge to find places to shoot the Ski Train heading west in the morning light. I like this spot at Plainview. The cut on the east side of the tracks blocks the direct sunlight from hitting the lens. The morning sun does a nice job lighting up the side of the Ski Train as it is nearing the halfway point on the journey west.

Unfortunately, the clouds didn't quite cooperate with me here. There was sun further up the mountain and further down too! Regardless, UP 1989 leads on the point of the Ski Train as the train enters the siding at Plain for a meet with an eastbound coal load.

The Ski Train twists it way into the siding at Plain to meet with an eastbound coal load that is currently up near Tunnel 10. Due to mechanical problems with SKTX 289, UP 1989 has been borrowed from UP to help for the day.
