A C44ACM that looks like it has been hand-polished, and the specially-painted Abraham Lincoln SD70M will provide the power for this 18-car passenger special, set to depart Rifle in one hour, at 10am.

The train arrived here at Rifle in the pre-dawn hours last Monday morning in preparation for the trip today. Of note, the train is actually tied down on the mainline. For the last two days, all other trains have had to run through the siding.
