Even though the EMD prototypes are not particularly visible in this shot, I still consider this the "shot of day"! EMD's testing special is creeping along at 12 MPH as it enters into the west portal of the Moffat Tunnel. The Winter Park ski resort has shut down for the season. The green pipe to the left is a water pipe that goes through the Moffat Water Tunnel (which parallels the train tunnel). It carries water to the Denver area from the west slope of the divide and was a key reason the train tunnel was built.
