You might notice, despite the blur, that there is a baggage car in the middle of some Superliners. This is because the Superliners ahead of the baggage car (to the left) are for the Winter Park Express Ski Train. Those cars, and a pair of P42DCs, will be set out on Track 5 in preparation for the start of the season on Friday. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
