That smoke coming off the engines doesn't look too good! Not to worry...it actually isn't smoke at all. As the train was sitting (and idling) in the siding, some of the falling rain accumulated on the radiator. When the engines throttled up (and heated up), the water turned to steam! With a new track warrant taking them all the way to Denver, this southbound has crossing Nickel Street.
