The first run of the 2004-2005 Winter Ski Train wraps through Little Ten Curve on its journey west toward Winter Park. Since the end of the last summer season, the Ski Train now owns the three F40PHs (they were on a lease-to-buy deal with Amtrak) and the units have been re-lettered SKTX (from AMTK).

There is a small lake along the tracks not far west of Cliff in the area known as Pactolus. This lake was once used for cutting ice blocks for shipment by rail, as well as for public ice skating. Now, however, it just sits along the Moffat main line. This coal empty passes a clear intermediate signal about a half mile east of tunnel 30.

A single SP AC400CW (#354) is the sole DPU on this westbound empty coal train. It is becoming harder and harder to find unpatched SP power.
