The Ski Train comes through the S-Curve at Blue Mountain, accelerating slightly as it approaches the grade crossing at Blue Mountain. The power is in a unique configuration with SKTX 283 leading, instead of SKTX 242. This is so the power can run around the train at Fraser and take the train "backward" back home to Denver. The wye at Tabernash is plugged with MOW equipment!
