While taking some pictures around the Moffat Tunnel, I learned about two units sent west from Denver to assist a coal train at Granby. I decided to head to the west slope for some pictures. It is pretty crazy that, when I was at East Portal, I was only a little over six miles away from Winter Park (via the Moffat Tunnel). Yet by road, it was a 55 mile drive that took about 90 minutes!

I finally made it to Granby, where I found the two units on the main, getting ready to work on the DPUs on the eastbound coal load. A new (heated) concrete platform at the Granby depot is nearing completion!
