It hadn't happened in four years, but the Ski Train finally made another evening run west of Denver to Winter Park. The train, chartered by Train Collectors Association, departed Union Station at 3pm and 45 minutes later, it was passing just west of Denver with the Denver skyline in the distance.

Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
About halfway between the daylighted remains of Tunnel 28 and the still-standing (albeit short) Tunnel 29, the Ski Train heads west in the late afternoon on a cloudy June afternoon. The Ski Train, making a special chartered run, hasn't headed west of Denver in the afternoon since a similar charter on June 19, 2003.

Quick, grab your spot! The open vestibule on the Kansas is crowded with people all wanting to take in the beauty of the trip west on the Summer Ski Train. After a long heat wave, temperatures are in the 50's for these passengers, headed to Winter Park for a special catered dinner. The train is passing through the shortest tunnel in the Tunnel District, Tunnel 29.
