The Ski Train, led by UP 1989 makes its way out of the shortest tunnel in the Tunnel District (Tunnel 29) and crosses the bridge at MP 36.5. The tracks cross South Boulder Creek at this location for most of the remainder of the trip west to the Moffat Tunnel.

A scene that has been repeated many times in the past and will hopefully be repeated many times again in years to come. The ex-DRGW business cars (California, Utah and Kansas) - now owned by the Ski Train - cross the bridge at MP 36.5.

An eastbound coal load makes its way east out of the Moffat Tunnel. The train met an westbound hirailer at East Portal. The hirailer was trying to make his way to Winter Park (via the tunnel) for track inspection.

BNSF's Provo to Denver manifest (comprised primarily of tank cars) slows to stop at the grade crossing near the east end of East Portal siding. The train will switch crews so the fresh crew can take the train all the way to Denver.

In 2000, UP moved 69 SD40-2's from numbers in the high 3000's and low 4000's to the 9882 series. All of these units were "B-units" (meaning they could not lead a train), and all but twelve of these former Missouri Pacific units have been retired. UP 9885 is one of the twelve that are still on UP's roster.

Got Power? A string of 20 units ranging from newer power to classic power sits on run-around track in North Yard. Meanwhile, a remote control operator moves a set of switchers out of the way on the lead to make room for three units from the MNPNY to pull off the train on yard track four. The managers in the yard tower were trying to figure out what to do with all the power.
