It is being stored in Burnham near downtown Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The Ski Train has a couple of tracks reserved at Burnham just for them. The train is broken up over two or three tracks and the power is kept on yet another track. Here, the train will sit (and be worked on) until the summer runs start at the end of June. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In fact, this unit was up at East Portal (of the Moffat Tunnel) almost exactly three years ago on April 25, 2004. Here is a shot of the unit on that day. This SD70ACe, now listed an EMDX 70 was originally GM 70, one of the first SD70ACe prototypes. Note that the unit has undergone some serious modifications in the last three years...and the paint has not exactly been maintained!
