Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
My first shot of the Ski Train for the 2007-2008 Ski Season! It look a while for me to get track side, but I'm pleased with the result of this first picture. The train is running right on time as the train moves along at track speed between Kipling Street and 72nd Avenue.

The Ski Train had a great run up the mountain on this day. The first eastbound was in between Granby and Tabernash as the train made its way up the hill. At the base of Coal Creek Canyon, the train is running on clear signals on a beautiful Colorado morning.

The southbound HLAUDEN has cleared up in the siding at Broomfield to wait for its counterpart - the HDENLAU - to come out of town. The dispatcher has informed the crew that they have a bit of wait, so the conductor has "gone for beans", meaning he will pick up a bit of lunch in town.

The lighting could have been better for this shot, but the clouds did come out looking extremely dramatic...I really like this shot because it depicts the three-way meet that took place. The HLAUDEN is about to leave the siding (to the right). The Longmont Turn is following the train into the siding with a Box 3 on its warrant. Meanwhile, the HDENLAU holds the main, waiting for the Longmont Turn to clear to it can continue north.

There is a lot of junk to be found in this picture! And not just in the gondolas either. Now, I have nothing against BNSF...I have always appreciated that they try to match the colors of the unit they are patching when they apply a patch. But lately, they have been "scratching off" the BN herald from the nose of the SD70MACs. The nose of the unit looks was to plain now.

This northbound HDENLAU just received a warrant from the Front Range Dispatcher to proceed from the south siding switch at Broomfield to the north siding switch at North Yard. That warrant spans about 65 miles! Two H2's and a "Catfish" lead the train just north (geographically west) of Broomfield.
