Photo ID: 101484 Date Shot Photo By Saturday, July 21, 2007 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Blue Mountain Arvada, CO 1944 (1 Comment Posted) Subdivision Railroad Moffat Tunnel (UP) Union Pacific Grade crossing damage causing a headache! The grade crossing at Blue Mountain had some pretty serious damage done (although how, I'm not sure). The big problem was the piece of steel sticking about three inches up into the air. Not a big problem for westbounds, but there was a concern that eastbounds could catch the metal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Does the engineer look a bit lonely in the cab? The rest of the crew is down on the ground trying to jury-rig some damage to the road crossing. For the time being, the Ski Train is standing still!

A few swings of the sledge hammer loosened the metal frame enough that it could be pushed back down by foot. The Ski Train itself waits patiently off to the left of the image.

Members of the Ski Train crew monitor the crossing from a safe distance to ensure no additional problems develop. After the entire train was clear of the crossing without incident, the crew walked back to the head-end and the train continued into town.

You may notice in this shot that the Ski Train appears to be missing something...such as the Utah and Kansas which can typically be found on the train. The private cars were instead assigned to the Cheyenne Frontier Days train for the day, traveling north instead of west! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
