Photo ID: 102906 Date Shot Photo By Friday, May 8, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed La Salle (8,800ft) La Salle, CO 3273 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Ski Train 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!

Okay, technically the Tempo Ski Train cars weren't apart of Rio Grande, but we'll let that technicality slide! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Once again I conveniently cropped out the UP pilot leader! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is at the north end of Greeley, continuing north on a clear signal. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

That's probably why the Ski Train Glenwood Springs, seen here, is one of my favorites! Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 102912 Date Shot Photo By Friday, May 8, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 56 Eaton, CO 3545 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Ski Train 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.

So very representative of the train zooming away to new adventures in Canada. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

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.

Photo ID: 102915 Date Shot Photo By Friday, May 8, 2009 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed MP 74 Nunn, CO 3509 (4 Comments Posted) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Ski Train 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.
