The southbound MNPNY is moving south at Ault. Although the train moved quickly from Cheyenne to Greeley, it would end up waiting at Greeley for half the day for northbound trains!

The steam train always attracts quite a croud on the ground. Here at Platteville, the steam train held the main for a southbound UP manifest. After getting a clear signal, the train "smokes" up and prepares to depart northbound.
