Coming past the Fraser depot, UP 1988 is rolling east at about 12 MPH. With four units and 78 cars, the train is probably right around 2.0 HPT, which is about the bare minimum to crawl up the 2% grade coming up between Fraser and Winter Park.

It certainly is not ever day that you see the red of "Miss Katy" passing by the Fraser/Winter Park platform! In fact, UP 1988 has managed to elude me for the past 11 years! I hadn't seen it since 2007 prior to this fateful October day.

After a fantastic day in the Colorado High Country along the Moffat, it is time for a parting shot of this eastbound coal load that has UP 1988 on the point. The train is starting to slow as the head end is now on the 2% grade. The train would ultimately slow to 5 MPH on its way up to the tunnel, but it did not stall out and ultimately made it over the top of the hill.
