Moffat Tunnel (UP) Ski Train
A few days prior to the start of the 2008 Summer Ski Train Season, the train (or a part of the train) was chartered for an overnight trip to Winter Park. Four of the 14 cars (plus the three private cars) made up the consist for the trip. A day before this picture, the train went up to Winter Park and spent the night tied down on the Fraser siding. Here, the train passes through Arvada on the way back to Union Station.

Not too often these days that you find a mainline train where the power has spartan cabs across the board! That was exactly the case here though as the eastbound Rocky Local makes its way through the cut between Carr Street and 68th Ave in Arvada.

The "powers that be" do a very good job of keeping either former Rio Grande or former Espee power on the Rocky Local. On this day, the local had a trio of fly letter (former) Espee GP40M-2s. These units have been on the local for a few weeks now. The train is about five miles away from North Yard.
