While waiting for the Ski Train in La Salle, I thought this shot of a patched Rio Grande GP40 and a "triclops" UP SD60M made for a nice shot!

Seeing as how the Ski Train is being transported to Canada to become a part of Algoma Central Railway, this shot underneath the quickly-flying American Flag seemed somewhat appropriate!

In La Salle, we find all things that were once Rio Grande. Okay, technically the Tempo Ski Train cars weren't apart of Rio Grande, but we'll let that technicality slide!

Not far north of La Salle and the Ski Train crosses over the South Platte River. Once again I conveniently cropped out the UP pilot leader!

After an evening of clouds, the sun finally broke through the clouds about 20 minutes before sunset, offering this great shot with eerie storm clouds in the direct sunlight. The train is at the north end of Greeley, continuing north on a clear signal.

When I was a kid, my parents took me to Glenwood Springs all the time to swim as well as watch trains. That's probably why the Ski Train Glenwood Springs, seen here, is one of my favorites!

At the north end of Greeley, I got the "so long Ski Train, going away just before sunset" shot that I had been hoping for all day! Not much else to be said...

Here it is! The very final shot that I'll (most likely) ever take of the entire Ski Train in the sunlight. Ironically, the train is just about as far away from Denver in this shot as it would be at Winter Park.

In some ways, this shot is just about my favorite one of the entire day, chasing the Ski Train north on the Greeley Sub. So very representative of the train zooming away to new adventures in Canada.

Just north of Ault, the sun has now set as the Ski Train continues north. I decided to get a shot from the east side of the train. You can clearly make out the outline of the F40PH's, as well as see the windows along the La Plata Peak.

Here we go...unless something very unexpected happens in the future, this is the very final shot of the Ski Train I will ever take. Certainly likely to be the last shot of the train in Colorado anyway. Light is rapidly fading as the Ski Train zips by as seen from the US-85 overpass just north of Nunn. Farewell, old friend.
