A southbound coal train is about to hit the start of the grade on its climb to the top of Palmer Divide at Palmer Lake. Northbounds, going down hill, make the trip in about an hour. Southbound loads often can take anywhere from 1-4 hours to make the climb! The train is crossing C-470 just south of the end of triple track at Littleton.
