The Ski Train, led by the Rio Grande Heritage Unit UP 1989, emerges from a thick fog that has engulfed the Denver-Metro area. By the time the train reaches Clay it will have climbed completely out of the fog.

The Ski Train twists it way into the siding at Plain to meet with an eastbound coal load that is currently up near Tunnel 10. Due to mechanical problems with SKTX 289, UP 1989 has been borrowed from UP to help for the day.

Unfortunately, the clouds didn't quite cooperate with me here. There was sun further up the mountain and further down too! Regardless, UP 1989 leads on the point of the Ski Train as the train enters the siding at Plain for a meet with an eastbound coal load.
