Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
It is nearly that time again! The Ski Train will soon be running for its weekly Saturday trips over the summer. Why is it only nearly that time when looking at a shot of the Ski Train heading west? On this day, the Ski Train had been privately chartered for a trip to Winter Park and back, so the public won't be starting for another week. Here, the train runs along the west side of Rennicks where a few container frames await an assignment.

It is a perfect summer morning in Colorado as the Ski Train heads west at Coal Creek Canyon. Note the Bike Car added in behind the power. What more needs to be said about this one!

Don't you just feel a little refreshed after this shot? Half way through the siding at Cliff, the tracks cross over South Boulder Creek on this wooden trestle. The Kansas crosses the quick-moving water as it continues its journey west.

Do you see the Ski Train in this shot? Definitely not a major component of the picture, but the Kansas (the last car of the Ski Train) can be seen in the distance between Tolland and East Portal. The little yellow school house sits quietly in the valley below the Continental Divide.

One of my favorite places to shoot is at the bridge just east of Tolland. Here, the tracks cross South Boulder Creek and the Continental Divide is visible in the background. Two SD70M's, a C40-8, and a AC4066CW lead the westbound MNYPV on a beautiful June morning.
