Just west of Leyden, the Winter Park Express Ski Train is making its way west. Two additional coaches have been added to the train since last weekend. Amtrak worked with Winter Park and the State of Colorado to expand service. The train will have seven cars (six coaches plus the lounge car) for the rest of the season, and it will run Thursdays through Mondays!

Even though the sun has technically risen, it stills looks to be blue hour out as the Winter Park Express heads west at MP 14. There is a small winter storm blowing through this morning. Snow is lightly falling, but the wind is blowing hard. It is 30蚌 (-1蚓) out, but with the wind, it feels like it is about 10蚌 (-12蚓).

The Winter Park Express is hustling along at track speed west of Leyden as some snow is falling. This is the first day of expanded service. Two coaches were added to the Winter Park Express this week. This is the longest the train has been under Amtrak in the last few years.

The Winter Park Express has just emerged from Tunnel 1 on its journey west to Winter Park. The train is running about 20 minutes early today. Passengers onboard have to be really happy they are not currently on I-70.

The westbound Zephyr came to town with an extra coach this morning. The extra coach was dropped off in Denver because one of the coaches on the Winter Park Express has defective bathrooms. The coaches will be swapped out tonight, and the defective coach will likely head to Chicago tomorrow evening. Here, the Zephyr is just west of Leyden.

It is cold and overcast this morning as the westbound Zephyr passes through western Arvada, just west of Leyden. Despite severe weather in the mid-west, the Zephyr is right on time this morning.
