With it's travels on the eastern side of the Continental Divide nearly complete, Amtrak 5 moves slowly west through the siding at Tolland. Amtrak is in the siding because it is meeting an eastbound coal load which is just entering Tolland (on the main) at the time this picture was taken.

After meeting the Ski Train at East Portal, UP 4583 leads the MRONY-21 east through Tolland. You couldn't ask for a better summer afternoon in Colorado! The temperature outside was a pleasant 75 degrees.

A storm making its way east toward Denver had Tolland engulfed in snow as UP 5627 heads west toward the Moffat Tunnel.

Union Pacific is investing a lot of money in the Moffat lately. The Moffat has not received too much "major" maintenance since the SP/UP merger…until now. A ballast train working in the Moffat Tunnel heading east is tied down on the siding at Tolland. Three SD60M's provide the power for the ballast train. The Aspens are starting to change up at altitude.

Even though it is almost June in Colorado, never under estimate Colorado weather! A cold front is starting to seep over the divide and the clouds are starting to gather. In the mean time, UP 6590 heads up an eastbound coal train (with unpatched SP 257) crossing a very full South Boulder Creek just east of Tolland.

The leaves are changing in the high country as an eastbound coal train makes its way through Tolland, just east of the Moffat Tunnel.

An eastbound coal load is on the move at Tolland, just two miles east of the Moffat Tunnel.
