After wying at Tabernash, the Ski Train is on its way back toward Fraser. Looks like the Ski Train could stand a good power wash.

Believe it or not, the Ski Train is on the climb to Tunnel One. There is a spot along Highway 72 where there is nothing but sky in the background.

The ground is wet after recent rains which have now moved over Denver in the distance. Meanwhile, the Ski Train races down the main at Clay toward Big Ten Loop, the siding streaking by in the foreground. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
