Tucked away at the north end of Colorado Springs is a very pleasant, quiet neighborhood. The serenity being disturbed briefly for the passing of a southbound coal train. Fortunately, since it is headed downgrade, it is in dynamics and thus not nearly as loud as it could otherwise be. On the other side of the train is the "New Santa Fe Hiking Trail", a public trail open to anyone that wishes to hike along it.

This coal train is not too far south of the southern border to the grounds of the Air Force Academy. One of the sidings along the single track main, aptly named "Academy", is entirely located on the grounds of the Air Force Academy itself. I'm not sure if crews have to go through any headaches if they have to get to the siding for a crew change!
