Overcast skies just seemed to demand that this picture appear in black and white! Nobody is aboard the Kansas on this particular day as it sits near the (classic DRGW) signal at the east end of Winter Park.

An afternoon storm has moved into Winter Park as the Ski Train stops to pick up its passengers. The train is just long enough that the last few cars hold in the OS section at the east end of Winter Park.

The vestibule on Car 13 (the Colorado Springs) is open and ready to receive passenger! The Ski Train is sitting on the main at Winter Park, waiting for its summer departure time at 3:00pm. Note the unique disk brakes used on all the Ski Train cars (save the bike car and the private cars).

Ski Train volunteers work their legs (not their backs!) to unload the 37 bikes brought along by passengers. While a ramp is available in the car, the ballast makes using the ramp a bit unpredictable, so bikes are typically lifted.

The Ski Train has come to a stop at the east end of Winter Park. The train is just past the OS section which gives just enough room for the Kansas (on the tail end) to site near the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel. Note the passengers de-training in the distance.
