Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
Remember when the Ski Train cars had the name of the car on its side? Today, the side of every car simply says "The Ski Train". Unfortunately, a grinder was used to remove the names before "The Ski Train" was applied, so the old name plaques are lost forever. However, here is the North Park (Car 5) sitting on the wye at Tabernash in January 1999.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
In the 1998-1999 season, the Ski Train stopped using leased power from Union Pacific (and the power car), and started using leased F40PH's from Amtrak. Two F40's were used during this first season, which turned out to be a disaster when one of the units went down. On one trip, the train couldn't make it up the hill! Here, the two leased F40's can be seen on the point of the train as the train backs into the wye at Tabernash.
