When it comes to rail photography (or outdoor photography in general), there is no better time to get out in the Colorado high country than the last week of September! An eastbound UP manifest has just emerged from the Moffat Tunnel and is rolling eastbound. James Peak and surrounding peaks have a dusting of snow, and fall colors are about at their peak.

You can still see a two lines through the trees from the survey line cut for the tunnel construction. These same lines show in construction ere pictures in the book "The Moffat Road."
