For the first six runs of the 2006 season, the Ski Train did not have the typical sight of the Kansas bringing up the rear of the train. The Kansas was at Burnham being repainted. By January 14th, the paint job had been completed and the car was back in service looking very sharp!

In January, the sun is low enough in the sky in the mornings that it is hard shooting the Ski Train west of Plainview. On this particular Sunday morning, I went west to East Portal and got the train coming around the bend toward the east switch of the siding.

At the west switch of Rollins, Amtrak 5 (the California Zephyr) is working its way west on a clear signal. The second unit is a 8-32BWH making a very rare appearance in Colorado. These units operate almost exclusively in California these days.

UP 5627 leads the MNYPH-16 west at Rollins. This train, bound for Phippsburg, CO, consisted entirely of sand being hauled west. Being loaded (with only three units), the train was moving slow up the grade.

A colorful MNYRO-16 heads west on a clear signal through Rollins, approaching less than perfect weather not too far up the canyon.
